Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, students, schedule, union, events and speakers

Cons

Post high level experience positions at salary grade levels below what the position should be classified - duties are for a higher salary grade. Beginning salaries are below average, with only a 1 to 2 percent raise each year. Bonuses are discretionary and are not based on performance. High turnover across several departments where leadership has created a toxic work environment by playing favorites, withholding information, losing staff trust, not supporting department staff to upper leadership, and taking credit for their staff's efforts.

Business Outlook

Pros

Kind, motivated coworkers in the medical school. Lots of trust and interest in helping you achieve future goals. Good about promoting from within. Amazing benefits.

Cons

Terrible pay for the work and stress load. Strange priorities in terms of hiring: I knew extremely qualified candidates who didn’t get interviews for positions they should have been considered for. Uneven commitment to diversity at best.
