Advice to Senior Management – Get back to being patient centered. Follow through with your initiatives - What happened to access? It's so hard to see a Dr these days. Don't forget about your front line staff! They're working hard to make you look good. Appreciate them! Promote employees that actually work hard, not those who like to shmooze.

Former Employee – worked at The Palo Alto Medical Foundation full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Lots of opportunity to move around the organization, especially since it is part of the Sutter Health network. Access to resources and information. Rich benefit plan (though expensive when covering dependents). Very competitive salary ranges for industry, but you will work for it! If you are looking for challenge and opportunity to make suggestions or lead projects, PAMF is a great place to work. They are constantly finding ways to improve, though slow going, it's nice to know there are always things to do and ways to contribute.

Cons – Leadership is always available to staff, but not always very clear or decisive on company changes or projects. There truly is a very huge work load; some people thrive in that environment, but others may become overly stressed out. There are times when the company implements a new process or program and they haven't quite thought out all the possible areas where there could be issues and it causes some 'back-peddling'.
