Not much to say. Was disappointed in layoff due to delay in ICD 10 project.
Application Analyst (Former Employee), Sacramento, CA –
The job was organized and enjoyable up until the delay. Would have liked more notice of the impending layoff than the 4 days I was given.

Wonderful co-workers and supervisors
Medical Legal Clerk (Current Employee), Yuba City, California –
Pros: flexible boss
Cons: no chance for promotion.
Collecting and preparing medical records for attorneys and subpeonas. Customer service. Hardest part of my job is dealing with the political polices that have been pushed upon us. I work with wonderful, supportive people everyday. I didn't know this type of job existed when I started it.

A wonderful company and great people to work with
Insurance Account Rep II (Former Employee), Sunnyvale, CA –
Pros: work enviornment, company benefits (health benefits, complimentary behavioral services, infertility compensation, orthodontics, etc)
Cons: department was laid off
Palo Alto Medical Foundation was the best place I've ever worked. I enjoyed my job duties, and our department was a family. I enjoyed going to work each and every day. The only negative I have to say is that unfortunately, our Patient Accounting department was outsourced to Sutter in Sacramento and many of us were laid off because we were unable to – more...  locate. – less

Dysfunctional - Yes
Supervisor IHH (Former Employee), San Francisco, CA –
Pros: pay
Cons: where do i begin
Creepy and weird corporate mentality. Managers in the department I worked for (Institute for Health and Healing) were literally climbing over each other and backstabbing to get ahead. Very sad indeed. In my humble opinion I'd stay away. Check into UCSF!

You're a number, not a name
Finance (Former Employee), Sacramento, CA –
Pros: free benefits
Cons: being micro-managed
If you are a automaton without individual ideas, apply at Sutter. Sutter does not appreciate your ideas, even when it could save money. If you voice your opinion and attempt to improve the dysfunction, you will be disciplined. If you do not change your opinion or continue to voice your concerns, you will be fired for "creating a hostile workplace". – more...  If you keep a smile on your face and stick to the call scripts, you will be a star employee. – less

BEWARE – April 26, 2012

A great to place to work but an awful lot of backstabbing, not telling the truth, repeat confidental conversations, and more unprofessional behavior by the director of one of the clinics. One doctor was allowed to continue with harrasment comments and swearing. Not allowed to take breaks but then the director would deny every saying that. If they got rid of the director it would the best place to work

Bizarre dysfunctional corporate culture.
Director (Former Employee), California –
Pros: compensation near or slightly below market rates.
Cons: health benefits are anemic, management is arrogant.
If you don't want to work in a highly stratified, alienating, and hostile workplace then avoid Sutter. You can google Sutter to see that its relations with unionized labor are appalling. Don't be fooled that a similarly dysfunctional attitude toward employees doesn't also permeate the culture for management and non-union workers as well. Sutter is very – more...  much dominated by a culture of cliques and awash in the latest corporate newspeak and psychobabble. The individual employee at Sutter is often treated with contempt. If you work there you will constantly be watching your back, rarely experience true collaboration and your career advancement will be despite not because of your current job duties. – less

Over all this company was four stars
Registration/Admitting Clerk (Former Employee), Antioch, CA –
Pros: kudos, free meals, rewards, etc.
Cons: short breaks, not long enough lunches, benifits cut.
Sutter Health was a great experience for me, I gained great knowledge about the medical field. In my position with Sutter Health as an Registration Clerk, I worked in several different departments, such as the Emergency room, Labor and Delivery, The front desk of the billing office, and the call center. This gave me great opportunity to expand my skills – more...  and development. – less
