Pros

Benefits are fair. Being a part of great healthcare

Cons

Promotions based on personal relationships rather than experience and education. Less than professional environment. New employee are told the shuttle system is fast , this is not true. Parking is a disaster ! Employees park in only the top levels of a parking garage , walk in a less than safe environment to a shuttle that is rarely on time only to ride a shuttle with drivers that are talking or texting as they drive.

We are sorry that working at OU Medicine has left a negative impression on you. At all levels of leadership, we are committed to fostering a culture that invests in employees and rewards outstanding achievement based on merit. Our recruiters are diligent in their screening process. They review every candidate based on minimum qualifications, and partner with leaders to hire the most qualified and best-suited candidate for each available role. We encourage our staff to report any issues or concerns they may have by utilizing their chain of command, contacting their HR Business Partner, or utilizing our Ethics & Compliance Hotline. Our patients and employees are our top priority, and as a growing organization, we are working to address the transportation and parking concerns, which are common issues with most large hospital systems across the country. OU Medicine covers the cost of employee parking and provides around-the-clock shuttle service, with frequent direct routes to our hospitals during peak times, such as shift change. OU Medicine is ranked higher on Glassdoor, by current and former employees, than other healthcare employers in our local market. We strive to create a culture of teamwork and inclusion, where our employees are proud to come to work every day. Our leadership values employees’ feedback as we strive to make OU Medicine, not only a leader in patient care, but also the premier healthcare employer in Oklahoma. Again, thank you for your feedback. We wish you personal and professional success in your future endeavors.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you feel there are opportunities for professional growth at OU Medicine. As Oklahoma’s most comprehensive academic medical center, we are proud to offer additional learning and development opportunities to our nurses in a wide variety of specialties. We agree that OU Medicine is a great place, not just for new graduates, but for all nurses to grow in their practice. Regarding wages, each person’s compensation is carefully calculated on an individual basis with regards to years of experience in similar job responsibilities, internal equity and market data respective to each profession. As an organization, we believe it is important to offer competitive pay and an attractive benefits package to our employees. We recently completed multiple market analyses which allows us to better align our pay structure and merit increases with national and state standards for all professions, including nursing. We continue to monitor the local, regional and national trends and stay competitive in these areas and understand that our employees are a vital part of our mission to be the premier healthcare provider in Oklahoma and a national leader in the industry. We believe the future is bright at OU Medicine and we anticipate continued growth and improved service to our community and our employees. We are thankful that you are a part of our journey and wish you continued success.

Thanks for your review. We are encouraged to hear that you’d recommend working at OU Medicine. Providing high-quality, patient-centered care is at the core of all that we do: whether it’s for a patient seeking routine care or someone with complex medical needs, we couldn’t do it without people like you. Since OU Medicine became a non-profit healthcare organization in early 2018, we have made significant progress as an organization: our recruiters continue to set company hiring records, our compensation and benefits are improving and our growth is unprecedented: we hired over 1,400 new employees in 2018 alone. As a result of our continued growth, OU Medicine faces new opportunities and challenges every day, but we strive to create an experience, environment and culture where our employees are proud to work each day. We believe that the future is bright at OU Medicine, and we appreciate your patience during this exciting time of growth. We wish you the best in your personal and professional endeavors.
