Pros

There is a lot of interesting research being conducted in the many departments at the hospital. Some of the physicians are very intellectually stimulating, visionary, and make it worth while to work at the hospital.

Cons

It is a large organization that has an administration that works, acts, and responds very slowly. Their pay is severely below the market, and they strong arm the local healthcare professionals into accepting less than market salaries. The people accept the positions because of the limited options in the area. There are some premium paid positions, but they are for the prestigious physicians and friends of management.

Pros

Hum, its a secure job if you are in the nursing field, unless you have been there too long then maybe you'd make to much and maybe need to be let go. ....... you can transfer out of one hospital to another if you get sick of the place ..... upmc owns pretty much everything so you get discounts for working there ...... you can get school paid for if you want to owe them time..... the food isn't too bad ... but its very pricey .... $4.80 a lb for salad! The benefits arent too bad either! Thats all I can think of!

Cons

There are plenty of downsides, for one there is no respect in the whole system! The fact that everything is getting cheaper for example the disposable washcloths.... horrible! And the hospital is supposed to be "Green" okay so we use twice the amount of baggies... plastic... and disposable washcloths..... more and more trash... not so green! Also the fact that UPMC recycles! Okay thats why there are maybe a dozen recycable containers in the place.... which are barely used ever. More downsides... maybe the fact that my retirement is already fading fast yet UPMC decides that they will lover their contributing percentage... yay UPMC! Also the fact that UPMC has decided to NOT give people their raises... that one is the best!
