Is this your company?

Do not work here. If you do, at least do your homework. Rush is not what it seems. - Performance Improvement Consultant Rush University Medical Center Employee Review

Pros

Great organization name on your resume. That is about it. I want to give more positive comments, but I just can't think of anything. Oh, they have a nice MHSA graduate program.

Cons

I am going to try to provide only true statement, not emotional ones. I don't regret the time I spent at Rush because I learned how NOT to run an organization. Terrible culture, across every single department. The Quality Department is by far the worst place to work, probably in the entire city of Chicago. They lie about data and honestly treat people like garbage In my entire career, I have never seen anything like it. In the past 4 years, each year there has been 90% turnover. They allow MDs to throw things at nurses, the nurse staffing ratio is getting cut, a large % of MDs do not believe in Family Centered Rounds, and there are slient layoffs every most years. I was a internal consultant and I worked across many departments so I was able to get a wide perspective. Do not work here.

Pros

I used to work in rushs fertility clinic and felt there was a really great collaboration between everyone on the team.

Cons

our fertility clinic had multiple locations and i had to drive to each one on different days. I felt the compensation wasnt enough for the drive.

Pros

great resources and technology available to make charting easier. i've worked on great units and bad ones, it really depends on management and your support staff.

Cons

big hospital system, again focused on numbers and quantity over quality care. chronically understaffed which leads to overwork and patient risk. staff is not listened to by management when raising concerns about patient safety. not paid enough for nonexistent work life balance. was often working 50-60+ hour weeks staying late and charting with no extra pay
