Wesley Burks UNC Health CEO Wesley Burks is the system’s top paid executive. His compensation is from $3 millionto $2.4 million.
& he's leaving UNC to be head of the new Children's Hospital where he will undoubtably make so much more $. That is unethical, especially in a non-profit hospital system where the "lowest tier" employees rely on Medicaid and Food Assistance programs.
New hire pay for recent graduates is $23/hr and that's pretty miserable even with the UNC "market rate adjustment". I don't know who made up this sad number when it should realistically be starting at $30/hr for new hires in a large metropolitan area like Raleigh. It certainly does not allow a liveable wage for a single person trying to live on their own.
High turnover rate especially on second and third shift. Whole staff has turned over about twice in 6 years I believe, except a handful of ready-to-retire staff. Very high-deductible insurance, I don't even bother to get it. Staff that goes above and beyond doesn't get recognized or bonuses, rather they get asked to work extra shifts. Layout is cramped; you need to turn if you have broad shoulders to get by anyone passing the other way.
If you advance your education or certification, a pay increase and title change almost never occurs.
Management doesn't consider this a teaching hospital, even though we take students for clinical rotations; so it's impossible to advance if you want a management position.
