Business Outlook

Pros

I began my journey with Sutter Health at 18 years old in Environmental Services. Over the years, Sutter provided opportunities for growth that allowed me to transition into outpatient imaging (MRI, X-ray, and Mammography) while continuing my education. I later advanced into nursing and am now nearing completion of my Advanced Practice Nurse training ( NP).Sutter has supported my professional development, education, and long-term career vision.

Cons

Like any large healthcare system, navigating transitions and growth pathways can sometimes feel complex and slow, especially for employees who advance through multiple roles.

Good pay but limited career growth and stability

Patient access representative

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay for location and responsibilites of work. Only needs basic qualifications. Good for someone with no work experience as it is easy to learn and pick up.

Cons

Very little and limited growth in career opportunities. Not many technical skills learned, a lot of busy work. As per diem, management will more than likely switch your schedule often with little to no prior notice. No stability in schedule.
