Pros

The money was good, but the hight price of SF balances that out.

Cons

Where do I start: It’s like UCSF scrapes the BOTTOM of the barrel for their next manager. The managers are completely toxic and discriminate against protected classes of employees. When you do complain you meet with the Office of Prevention of Discrimination and Harassment where NOTHING is done. I literally saw the WORST in nursing and have NO idea how this hospital has magnet status. Actually I do understand: it seems the ANCC only cares about money and not about patient outcomes or nurse satisfaction. If the organization pony’s up the money then they get the certification and designated as a “magnet” facility. This organization was by and far the WORST place I have ever worked.

Pros

Opportunities to learn new skills. My team is excellent.

Cons

New leadership models prioritize profit over employee well-being. They are starting to thin out our staffing more and more. Morale is very low right now on our unit ...

Pros

The people that work at UCSF are some of the most intelligent analysts I've ever worked with in 15 years of Health IT. Most are ex-Epic employees with strong backgrounds in project managament and IT,

Cons

UCSF recently decided to reclassify all remote employees as "Felxible" without their input or permission. As a result, employees must now travel to the office WITHOUT expenses paid. This means that flights, hotels, etc. are NOT reimbursed and are paid by the employee. UCSF has not answered to what problem they are trying to solve with this, and refuses to answer how this action aligns with goals such as sustainability (carbon emissions), equity (women and disabled are more impacted by eliminating remote work), working accommodating (UCSF does not have the physical space for all of the Clinical Systems department to be on site. There is no locked storage or accessible workspaces.), safety (there is no shuttle for UCSF to all locations that have been mentioned for work). UCSF limits employee growth, by eliminating actual promotions with "role based work". In other words, you have to do more work without compensation for it. They have also completely reneged on remote management, meaning that most employees are now at a dead end.
