Pros
Working at UCSF Health is a stable job: you clock in, take a lunch break, and clock out. It looks great on a resume, and you can get a better title externally after. The skills obtained are translatable across other industries.
Cons
Workers who have stayed at UCSF for over 2 years are life'ers, and hate to do anything new or different. They are also very risk averse, and will throw other people under the bus to save their reputation and chance at a pension. This leads to workers being very territorial and passive aggressive. Management has no backbone because they are also looking out for themselves and thoroughly under qualified for their positions. Don't expect any professional courtesy or support from others. Management personally are on their way to retirement and hate each other; the lack of respect and professionalism trickle down, so the typical tenure of a Privacy staff member is only 3 months due to the toxic and hostile work environment. The pay is minimal, and the pay discrepancy between staff members is vast.
