RecommendsPositive OutlookI worked at The Palo Alto Medical Foundation full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Interacting with medical staff and wonderful patients
Cons
STRICT with time cards - even if you are 1-5 minutes off, there are consequences.
Advice to Management
Some of the management seems to be spread too thin with too large of a scope to cover to be successful.

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at The Palo Alto Medical Foundation for more than 9 years
Pros
They overpay you for what you do!
Cons
Too many people that think they are more important than they are. We wonder why are healthcare is so expensive. They waste so much money it is disgusting. Too many layers of bureaucracy.
Advice to Management
Stop paying such outlandish salaries and maybe you can reduce what you charge patients.

I worked at The Palo Alto Medical Foundation full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
PSR work is good pay for very repetitive and menial office work especially in comparison to other companies. There's per diem, PT, and FT shifts to fit different schedules. Great, flexible schedule for college students!
Cons
- No challenges in PSR work. Perfect for those looking for repetitive work for cash, but not for those looking for growth. - PAMF will give you minimal raises in comparison to other Sutter regions. - Limited mobility for PSRs despite performance and merits. Extremely hard to move upwards as a PSR unless you have a vocational degree or know someone personally in upper management. - Can get cliquey. - Get ready to hear...

Reward based on performance and merits. Invest in employees who want to advance or they'll go somewhere else.

Pros
Nothing good I can say, honestly.
Cons
PTO, vacation, sick time, and holiday pay all combined. Health Insurance: EPO and PPO you still have to stay within Sutter Health physicians. Pay definitely could be better. Whether you're a physician, nurse, MA, technician, or PSR (it really doesn't matter what position you hold) you're are constantly talked down to or belittled. I'm not saying all colleagues are this way but 75% out of 100% are. Managers and supervisors...
