Pros

For now, patient care seems largely well done. Employees are knowledgeable about their jobs and seem to process their work effectively. Work hours, pay, and benefits are normal for administrative employees, and exceptional for all other job classifications.

Cons

Should cultural problems persist, it is only a matter of time before patient care is affected. Building an environment of fealty to Management and fear or bullying is unacceptable. Incessant lying makes it impossible for people to trust each other or believe what they hear.

Pros

We have a break nurse and a resource nurse every day, one hour lunch break, great CP to patient ratios (so less manual labor), incredible educational opportunities, the best retirement benefits on the west coast, and the best colleagues you could wish for. You do not feel 'squeezed dry' at the end of the day like you do at so many other hospitals (eg Cedars Sinai will suck the life out of you).

Cons

None specific to UCLA

Pros

Good work-life balance. Variety of project opportunities are available for the right team member.

Cons

The organization has little knowlege of or respect for sound project management tools and methodologies. Projects are managed in Excel or using "to-do" lists. Project management methodology is inconsistent and does not address project dependencies, risks, or issues management. Pay is a good 25% below the industry standards. Also, pay raises are rare. Be sure to negotiate as high a salary as possible because you will fall further behind industry standards every year you work at UCLA. The work ethic of many managers is questionable and hinders project progress. It is not uncommon for managers to leave work every Friday at 12pm.
