Pros

This is a nice quaint local hospital in a good location. The staff here takes their job very seriously. Patient care here is second to none.

Cons

Very poor pay in comparison to other area hospitals. Also the fact that is eventually going to close. Well at least that is what I am hearing. I would have to say that the lines of communication are non-existent. There is no downward or upward channeling of info. Many times I hear info three weeks later than some of the folks in my section.

Pros

UPMC St. Margaret is a very friendly place to work. Mostly everyone there has a good deal of respect for one another. I have met some of the best people working at this hospital. The people are great, and we all come together as a community of individuals who want to make people who are ill better and enrich their lives in the process.

Cons

My unit manager does not listen to what you have to say and sometimes what they tell you isn't what happens, such as telling us we could make our own schedule and then when we do they do not give you anything like the one that you made out.

Pros

UPMC has a great team of executives and is always thinking about the future of healthcare and how to approach it today. This organization also has a strong talent pool in the Finance Division. My experience there was always collaborative and with shared goals across all divisions.

Cons

There are no cons to working at UPMC. Healthcare reform is forcing a great deal of changes and down/right sizing of the largest IDNs and UPMC is no exception.
