      Pros

      Location Great transportation system within the UCSF system Prestige if you're into that

      Cons

      Bureaucracy, ten fold UC is a place where those who enjoy bureaucracy go to live out their final working years What should be simplified tasks anywhere else are broken down into such minutia it will make your head spin or explode As a manager, you will be likely to take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back regularly. Tasks will feel like they are being repeated and tweaked until the life is sucked right out of them...and you. Be prepared.

      Dynamic but stressful environment

      Pros

      Outstanding faculty and co-workers. Attracts motivated, smart and driven people. Diverse patient base. Although advancement from within may not always be available, could be a good springboard for future job opportunities.

      Cons

      Very busy, at times under-staffed, and financially strained. Mentoring needs improvement, although it is difficult to find an appropriate venue for this as the work load is so great.

      Visit, but don't stay...

      Pros

      You can go to sleep at night knowing that, even if it's in a small, indirect way, you've contributed to improving the health and quality of life for many people. The benefits package is outstanding. If you live in SF, commuting is a dream; the Parnassus campus is right off the N-Judah, and UCSF offers free shuttle service to its other sites.

      Cons

      The biggest downside is the culture--- behavior that would be unacceptable in a 3rd grade classroom is tolerated here. I've worked at two other academic hospitals, and I find the abuse by physicians (toward staff) at UCSF to be shocking. Very little opportunity for mentoring or professional advancement for administrative/nonclinical positions. There is no incentive for bright, educated staff to stay beyond two years--- the benefits ARE terrific, but salaries are too low and not competitive. It breaks my heart to see UCSF continue to lose bright, talented folks, while holding onto the deadweights (who know that the bureaucracy will protect them forever). Labor Relations offers no support to managers. If you're interested in working in a school of medicine, look to Stanford. If you want to work in an outpatient setting, look to Sutter (CPMC).
