    Pros

    Team environment Support when needed Salary was adequate for local cost of living

    Cons

    If I clocked in or out five minutes earlier or later I was reprimanded. Sometimes it was not possible due to the patient care requirements or because there was a lineup at the clock in station. Lots of travel nurses. Hard to adjust to new faces all the time.

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Good benefits and high salary,

    Cons

    Micro managing, I think managers are bored that even though your hands are full, they get you and say something that you’re not done with charting, which obviously you haven’t start charting because too busy taking care of your patients. They always pick you if you’re not their favorite.

    Worst department in the hospital

    May 19, 2023 - Research Program Manager in Palo Alto, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Amazing opportunity to contribute to the greater good of health care through clinical trials research. The team of people I worked with were amazing!

    Cons

    Toxic leader and work environment. Everything was an emergency. The leader was a people pleaser on a "quest" to be a Vice President (her words!) and sacrificed everyone around her to achieve that goal. Lost 14 people in 1 year in our department....run away, this is not the place for you, I promise.

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    There’s really nothing good about this company. It is NOT Stanford hospital pay level , they’re just under the Stanford umbrella.

    Cons

    Worse management. No advancement opportunity or growth. Overload of work for less pay. This is not Stanford hospital pay , don’t compare it. Look elsewhere to work for, this place is toxic everywhere. Managers need to be trained professionally. Too much politics and favoritism. Highest employee turnovers I’ve ever witnessed.

Employee Story
When Stanford Health Care employee Lourie Campos Coallier passed away last December after a long battle against cancer, a sense of loss spread across an entire community. Coallier left behind a legacy. She was a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a dear friend to many. She was also known as a passionate health care and cancer advocate, activist, mentor, and fighter. In celebration of Coallier’s many achievements and impact, Stanford Health Care’s Office of Government Affairs, with support from Stanford Medicine’s Office of Community Engagement, launched the new Community Health Advocate award. This annual award was announced at the recent Community Health Symposium as a posthumous recognition of her dedication to making health care services more equitable and accessible to all.
