Cedars-Sinai Health System Employer Reviews

Management is encouraged to create an atmosphere of fear amongst employees. There is the standard amount of gossip you'd find with any job. The pay and the benifits are great. There is also alot of opportunity for advancement.

I was there for a few months. The day would go by quick because there was always something to do.

A typical day of work entails administrative duties, face-to-face meetings with staff, and phone conversations with many people from a plethora of backgrounds. This provides an opportunity for one to gain experience in bridging generational and cultural gaps. Management gives employees the opportunity to have a wonderful balance with work and life matters – more...  while working with co-workers who all apply synergism to every facet of the work environment to ensure productivity with all employees. The most challenging part of my job was adjusting to the working styles of every staff member I support. Once I learned each style I was able to support each staff member and handle them on an individual basis while creating an environment that benefits all staff members. The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to meet some the greatest people I know; we all contribute to helping each other grow and become better employees. – less

Great working enviroment and benefits. Learned alot. Very professional.

I schedule patients for plagiocephaly clinic and assist patients’ parents in completing the forms, getting insurance approval and helping them obtain the information needed when they are referred to another doctor or for physical therapy or helmet therapy. I took care of all his travel and reimbursements for that travel (both in the USA and abroad). – more...  I assited him with submitting articles to journals and making sure that if there are changes that need to be made they are done in a timely manner. In 2011, I helped plan and execute the Dave W. Smith meeting for 150 doctors from around the world. The conference was great and they want to hire me to do their event planning in the future. – less

I had a micro-micro manager, who like to belittle everyone. Many a time I was awaken in the middle of the night and had to drive back to campus because one of the clerks did not transferred the phones to the answering service. Since I lived closer to campus I was always called. Another thing was my boss traveled a lot with his wife both international – more...  and domestic. So if a flying attendant or concierge at a hotel did not react quickly to his demands I was called to take care of the problem – less

Cedars really cares about their employees.The benefits are great and they are very supportive of your educational goals.

Great Doctors to work for at Cedars Sinai Medical Center with long vacations and great benefits also

The typical day at work was honestly a little boring. I would read magazines/books inside the gift shop all day when the population of customers were low. I would sometimes do extra work there in the back of the shop. This work consisted of stocking merchandise in the reservation room. In the gift shop, I believe the best thing I learned was how to – more...  appreciate the responsibilities of having a job. That experience in generally working generally made me feel good about myself. It was like empowering and motivational all at the same time. Management in the gift shop was superb. Everyone who worked there including me had their own little jobs to complete. Everything was in order and in perfect symmetry which made our lives much easier. No one had to do someone else's job. My co-workers which I called my mentors were two women who were excellent mentors. They were the ones who gave me my jobs. They gave me the best instructions to easily do my job and even gave me free food sometimes for the hard work I had done. Also they were really nice people. They became my friends during my time in the hospital and I shall never forget them. I think the hardest part of my job in the gift shop was answering the phone calls from the patients and nurses/doctors. Most of the time I could not understand what they were saying and I had to keep saying, "Can you repeat that sir!" or "Could you repeat that ma'am!" The most enjoyable part of the job there in the gift shop was delivering gifts to patients. I absolutely loved that job. During deliveries I would explore the other sections inside the hospital which satiated my boredom. What was really most enjoyable and heart-warming to me though was helping out patients with their illnesses and seeing them recover over time. I had faith that they would one day get better and by me delivering to them what they needed only furthered my desire to help them get better. – less

A change in executive management is necessary at this organization where, otherwise, rank-and-file employees are quite awesome.

Great patient care, and great work environment , large volume of patient

Marketing/PR/Comm depts' budget keeps getting cut. They outsource many tasks to freelancers/contractors so they don't have to pay for benefits. No one seems very happy to work there and constantly complain about the levels of bureacracy and limitations on ability to get things done. They really don't move forward on anything very fast.

wonderful place to work if you like to cross training on other company positions. Nice environment to work under. Management personnel very knowledgeable.
