Pros

Pay is only ok, but is getting worse. WRS and benefits are still great, despite the cut applied with Act 10. Employees tend to be quality individuals, but the environment seems to be almost sterile.

Cons

Treatment of employees is sub-par, but not horrible either. Zero worker protection with the unions gone. I recommend getting into a classified state of Wisconsin position if you want job security.

Pros

Great company, management makes you feel like you really matter. Employee development is very strong with classes and workshops.

Cons

Some departments are understaffed for the current work load. There are some inequities between UW Hospital people and Medical foundation people in the area of benefits.

Pros

I worked here as an undergrad and was hired on as a full-time employee after graduation. It is a great job for what it is. The pay is reasonable right out of school. The benefits are standard since you work for the state. Vacation, sick leave, and personal time are awesome! You get a lot of time and all the vacation rolls over. HR always seems to want to help and generally people are nice and helpful.

Cons

You are part of a very, very large institution, so you have to be your own advocate if you are in need of anything. The office culture depends on what department and division you work in. The first division I worked in felt like a big family and the second one felt like a bunch of middle-school cliques.
