Pros

great co-workers, you get paid base pay plus $1 for 2nd shift plus $2 more on weekends, you get paid at all. long lunch breaks, co workers typically cover for each other

Cons

doesnt matter what you do or how you do it, its never right. work never ends, trays stacked on top of trays, doesnt help that 1st shift (not everyone, but mostly) slacks alot leaving most of the work for 2nd and 3rd shift. management is unreasonable and illogical and sets impossible standards. scrub techs and nurses lose instruments and can never find them when needed, and they expect us to solve problems for them although they dont correspond to us.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with our nurse residency program and feel supported by leadership. Creating a strong foundation for new nurses is important to our mission and to the care we provide our community. We also understand how frustrating it can be when the parking garage fills quickly. Your feedback is helpful as we continue looking for ways to support our team members’ day-to-day experience.

Pros

Good benefits, consistent hours and work, holiday pay. Great co-workers but the leads were more approachable than upper management.

Cons

It's a lot of who you know and not what you know. There is a lot of hand waving with any issues you bring up and management may target you for any small reason. Beware of Management, they can go on a power trip. One or more members of upper management can block progress if you ever plan on moving out of the department. Pay is behind the times and your reviews will never match your output. Manager is not approachable but wants you to go to them before you tell anyone else. If you see something, you're better off either not saying anything or reporting it anonymously. Very political, lots of favoritism.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience. We’re glad to hear the benefits, hospital coverage and relationships with caring coworkers were meaningful parts of your time with University Health. Team members who support one another and stay focused on patients make a real difference every day. We also take your concerns about leadership, fairness, communication and advancement seriously. A professional work environment depends on trust, consistency and clear expectations, and team members should feel that internal opportunities are handled with transparency and follow-up. Your comments point to several areas that deserve attention, and we appreciate the thought you put into sharing them.
