Pros
In health care, there tend to be good people working, so there are people who make time there worthwhile. That’s not unique to UPH
Cons
You can give the organization 4 years and they will give you no reason to stay in organization. I started as an MLT/MLS at $x/hr and worked four years up to $(x+10)/hr. If I have reasons to leave the lab, but would rather stay in organization, they gave me nothing for being a four year employee and wanted to offer me base rate pay for an equivalent switch. I would be just about as qualified for this new department as I started with in a lab. Offering me nothing more than base rate tells me that UPH only sees employees as a cog. They care not to find creative solutions, they care to cut corners financially. Staying in organization would have totally reset my pay. To start off at random positions outside of healthcare pay more. My education is in science, but not specifically healthcare. At a time when healthcare workers are more burnt out than ever, UPH doesn’t care to incentivize bringing people in to health care. They’ll try to convince you that “you matter” but what matters is your job role being filled. I understand the reality of workplaces and don’t really expect less from a corporation, but i was naive and thought a health care organization might care about keeping employees in an understaffed healthcare landscape. Having been an employee and patient at UPH, I confidently say UPH is what is wrong with healthcare in this country. For-profit concerns in a field meant to help patients. Their detriment to US healthcare is second only to insurance companies that deny by default. Making it financially irresponsible to show loyalty as an employee is a bold way of showing someone they are valued
