Pros

Great hourly rates Good union representation for hourly pay

Cons

HR is VERY disorganized Occ Health is currently VERY disorganized. I understand its Covid, but they need to hire more people and come up with a better way to do things Hiring, transfer, etc is shady. They do absolutely nothing by the books. Transfers are done if they like you already and they are very biased There are hardly any policies and procedures for the Children's Hospital They do NOT value adequate training. For example, they do not have annual training stations to teach you and have you perform teach back of various procedures like trach suctioning, trach changes, insulin administration via pt own devices, continuous nebulizers, etc, even though these things happen on all floors They send a lot of email training information, but you don't have time to read any of it and don't get paid to read and review when not working There are multiple computer applications for everything, like training, timecards, paychecks, etc. It is confusing and difficult to find any information They claim to be welcoming to all, yet they have multiple violations for their own polices for housekeeping and the hospitality staff in general. For example, a CO-ED locker room for hospitality employees, who are disproportionately people of color! They also frequently spend less time with non-English speaking patients and rush through consents with non-English speaking patients versus white English speaking patients and families.

Pros

Close-nit community; if looking for direct patient engagement, you get it as a volunteer

Cons

Just when obtaining badge, the communication between the badge department and volunteer department could be better. Since times I have gone in, the badge department said they didn't get the form but volunteer department said they sent it.

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.
