What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Scripps Health?

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.

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.

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