Q&A With Scripps Health Employees

Their raises are a joke (2% on average) and their benefits leave a lot to be desired. They don't even offer a PPO health plan or a 401k. They offer a 401a, but the match is only 3% and it is after tax. They continually look for ways to cut expenses and some of that comes at the expense of their staff. They are continually chipping away at the company benefits. They also don't offer much in continuing education and often want the staff to pay for their certifications out of pocket. In other words, they will host a certification course, but they do not pay you to attend and charge you for the course under the disguise that it "isn't required for you position", yet your certification benefits the department you work in. If I could make one recommendation to the powers that be, it would be to at least keep the raises inline with annual cost of living increases. Year after year you make less money because of this.

I'm mixed. The place definitely grew me in some ways but was horribly unfair in other ways.

That a lot of people there never forget (or forgive) a mistake. I made several over the course of my time in the pursuit of doing thew work I thought I should have been doing. They inevitably came back to haunt me.

Not sure. They like it this way. It is a challenging culture.

Change incentive programs for physicians to be aligned with organizational goals. Communicate business goals and models better.

Scripps is actually working to improve the culture from within via Value by Design and using the MDI processes. All departments are encouraged to participate in daily huddles in which all input is valued and solutions are typically crowd-sourced, with managerial facilitation only extending to implementation, not barrier creation.

Nice people, keep their heads down and try to get the work done.

Good health Care benefits.

Regular benefits, they have a generous benefit package.

Very segmented. Lots of silos

Political

He has been there a long time. He has been great. Times are changing and Scripps needs to change too.

CEO is a good guy, but overall the org doesn't really value IS, they think of them as a necessary evil.

Political.

Politically at the leadership level. Effectiveness at the analysts level.

Hard workers. Politicians. Connected folks. Not a true meritocracy in my opinion.

Self promoting types, hard working types, good communicators. It is a mix, don;t get me wrong, there are a LOT of really good people there but it seems like there are a lot of people who do not produce very much but still get ahead due to politics, optics, and style rather than substance.

Annually. 2 percent is big

Annually and there are out of cycle adjustments on occasion.

I don't miss it at all.

Extremely.

Some of my peers. The mission.

Pay.

?? Not in years.

Pretty rare.

Some mostly white. A lot of women but that is healthcare in general v

Fair amount.

Similar

It was pretty standard.

Pretty bad.

Not too much lately. Layoffs galore.

Not well accepted

For the IS team it stinks.

Ambulatory. ACO. Health Plan.

I don't work there anymore. And I am happy about that.

Political

Typical stuff.

Very thin at the top. CIO knows his business but is all about HIS career. Rest of senior leadership AVP's and Send Directors are pretty weak from a leadership perspective. I would not take a job there.

Good, you earn a decent amount of PTO to use. Using it CAN be an issue sometimes but generally it is OK.

Frenetic
