Pros

Typically, the people you meet here are pretty driven and looking to succeed at what they do. The work is interesting, and the majority of the people I've met here do seem like they are looking to put our members/patients first. Benefits are very good, especially the time off policy for salaried positions Encouraged to advance within the company, and there is frequently room for growth. Leadership does seem interested in ideas for improvement within the company, and within a team, there is typically very strong encouragement and support Very flexible hours

Cons

UPMC has a difficult time telling people no, which results in work that is virtually impossible to do with the tools provided as many systems are old and outdated and teams are pushed to do extra manual work. Pay is minimal, and promotions come with a cap of 10% raise (or the minimum of the new salary range). It is difficult to really grow income remaining within the company. Leadership is frequently not transparent and has occasionally been vindictive and petty (this is not the norm, but it does happen frequently enough to mention) Different departments are extremely siloed and frequently in conflict with different departmental goals and directives.

Pros

No pros. It was a horrible place to work

Cons

If you were night shift, you had to work every holiday. The nurses were so lazy and never helped us. We ran around taking care of patients with no help. Changing them, cleaning up horrible messes, taking them to the bathroom and doing vitals with no help. Nurses would sit there eating while on Facebook, while we did all the work. Some would even be sleeping!
