Sutter Health Employee Reviews about "management"

Cons

Business processes are often unruly. Constant battle to get business travel reimbursement corrected due to misinterpretation of policies. When the whole department travels a significant amount, there is little excuse for this. Mid-level management lacks discipline in communicating to each other and to their employees. Lacks effective employee management causing visible work dissatisfaction for whole teams and erupting in extreme personality conflicts. History of relying on disincentives and punitive actions to manage employee motivation and actions. Authoritative management style. Low standard and sometimes unprofessional product quality is acceptable. Arbitrarily stacking more responsibilities on most effective employees to the point of overburdening them instead of training an available coworker to qualify for the role. Rampant employee favoritism. Corporate politics reduce effectiveness of working with other teams.

Cons

Management is terrible been working for the same location for 4 years and they all hire within their circle. Very clicky

Cons

No bonuses. The pay could be higher since the work load is high. There are no great perks in being am employee here.

Cons

Upper management asks the impossible. Middle management refuses to stand up for themselves and explain why things can't be done.

Cons

Management doesn't listen to nurse's concerns and runs the hospital on a shoestring budget. Corporate believes employees are interchangeable and pays too much attention to the bottom line. Sutter Health provides minimal to no charity care despite obscene profits.

Cons

Meeting deadlines is priority even when application has multiple issues - similar to the way Microsoft launches new software with known issues. Upper management ignores the suggestions of staff and goes live with known issues to the detriment of hospital staff and patients

Cons

I have never worked anywhere else that required everyone to be a spreadsheet specialist. They live and breathe spreadsheets. Management is tied up in meetings all morning at the least and is often unapproachable.

Cons

This is the first company that I've worked for where politics, clicks and friendship are more important than the work that has to be completed. I have to work with directors and above to complete projects. From my experience they are very unethical people in management. They look down on you and make you feel inferior based on the position you have within the company. People are placed in management because of their friendships with COO, directors and or manager without any experience. Turn over is very high and no everyone looks the other way. It's an environment I would not recommend for anyone unless you do not have work directly with managers and above. They micromanage every aspect of ones workday. They are not open to hearing suggestions and using industry wide project management methodologies to run projects. They all each director to be a risk to a project at the onset of a project. I've not found one person in my department who wouldn't take another job if offered one and I've not found a person who is happy working for the company. They all seem to just put up with it because they have bills to pay.
