Pros

As a UPMC employee, I was offered a substantial PTO accrual rate beginning at a little over 18 days a year. I am even allowed to purchase up to an additional 5 days during open enrollment.

Cons

Even though UPMC as a whole has a substantial PTO allowance there is little to no oversight regarding individual Unit Directors at UPMC hospitals who don't allow their employees to reasonably take their accrued PTO. Because of this many people including myself have hit the ceiling of the maximum allowed hours of PTO they can accrue and are not able to take substantial enough time off as to not lose a portion of this benefit.

Pros

Experience at a large company is a great resume builder. Beyond that, I don't have a lot of great things to say. My experience was probably better than some, but it really depends on your department and manager.

Cons

The company is very compartmentalized. The communication and respect between departments are horrible. It is unlikely you will ever get the feeling of being an appreciated employee or that your contributions are meaningful. All the cliche things that are said about working for large corporations is true about UPMC.
