Straight up Honest - Avis employé Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) Sutter Health

Great team, good benefits, decent/competitive pay (not as high as Kaiser), union protection

SRMC as a whole very strict with budget. Lots of new and unexperienced nurses in most departments. Culture is better in some ways with newer generation but pride in work doesn’t seem to be as important for a lot of newer staff.

Good benefits. 401k match over 6% and decent PTO. Competitive pay.

My particular facility is being neglected and falling apart. Sutter management is obsessed with opening shiny new facilities to capture as much market share as possible. Anyone considering a job with Sutter should only do so at one of their newer or flagship facilities. Favoritism is rampant in this organization and friends of management can do as they please while everyone else is micromanaged. Leave of absence abuse is rampant among staff leading to staffing shortages. There's no parking, and you're harassed for clocking in a few minutes early or late. Your lunch break is timed to the minute. Flat career structure with lots of favoritism. Lots of staff members are forced to work mandatory overtime and miss breaks too as Sutter prefers to under hire to keep profit margins up.
