Allina Health System Employer Reviews

A typical day consisted of calling the charge nurses on each floor and asking them to take patients who are being admitted to the hospital. Some nurses are wonderful and others have forgotten exactly why they went to school to be in their profession. We also get to work with the hospitalists who see the patients while they are in the hospital. While – more... I don't meet the patients directly I try my best to place them on the right floor based on their diagnosis. As far as management goes, we have had three different managers who have no idea what our department actually does. The best part of my job are my co-workers. We know the in/outs of the hospital and put the patient first. We also have a great time working together and keep each other entertained. – less

Abbott Northwestern is a top notch place to work. Treated with respect and equally part of a "OR Team".

typical day at work, I would check in patients and schedule follow up appointments. answer questions for patients and send messages to their doctors accordingly. hardest part of my job would be,explaining legal documents to patients. most enjoyable part of my job is seeing the patients, some were in a lot and you could form a relationship with them.

Co-workers are great and the pay is fair. They try to ensure a healthy work/life balance and good about thanking employees for their efforts.

A very large and diverse environment, but continues to be a small world, because everyone works with one another. Patient care and teamwork is highly valued and pursued. Team work is excellent among all areas of the hospital. Management can be quite difficult because of their decisions that can affect the large complexity of the system and their area. – more... Co-workers are great team-players. – less

Allina Health systems is a fun and challenging work place.
My day begins with checking patients in at the front desk updating
the records and verifying the coverage.
I truly enjoy working with patients and coworkers to make sure
that our patients are totally getting good care.

This company has terrible management that micro manages you and they are ungrateful for the work you do. It is a very stressful job the way it is and management makes it even more stressful. Five people quit in one department in just over a two week period because they couldn't take it anymore and more are going to follow.

Good company with room for growth and change. They offer many benefits for their employees and encourage overall happiness and well being. All facets of life are encouraged to create a wholestic approach to healthy living.

Allina Health is a great company to work for. My day included processing medical record. Everyone is great to work with.

Amazing company to work for, Easy to work with co-workers, who become like family. Hardest part of the job, strict confinement to your desk. Most enjoyable part of the job is the people.

Allina is a great company with good values. I would recommend the company, but a lot of people get in because the know someone. Some areas of the company are totally stuck in the past which can make it challenging for someone young with fresh ideas.

Allina Health is a leader in the field with a proven track record of adapting to an evolving industry.

Allina's SCM is a toxic department to work in. They don't appreciate what you contribute, they don't support their staff, managers are tyrants, staff is afraid to offer an opinion without repercussions. There is high turnover and they have lost really great people.
If you are looking for career advancement, don't work for Allina. If you are looking – more... for a great place to work, it is not Allina.
This department is a politcal hot mess, it is not what you know but who you know.
KEEP LOOKING, accepting a job here will be the biggest mistake in your career. – less
