Pros

UPMC is a fanastic company and one of the most reputable places of employment! It ranks on the honor roll of hospitals for many years running and I believe that will forever be it continued. I am a young, responsible individual who recently was given a chance for experience in my newly graduated phlebtomy program at UPMC Braddock. I am very fortunate to have my foot in the door with such a respectful company like UPMC! It will set me up for the rest of my life! It's amazing to feel such pride and faith in the company you're affiliated with, it isn't hard for others to be jealous! I'm going to school for ultrasound technician in cardiac echoes as well and I am rest assured that I will have no problem obtaining a position with any of UPMC's magnificent facilities. It's not everyone's luxury to say they actually enjoy their work and whom they work with, but I happen to be one of the incredibly blessed ones to say I adore everybody in my department at UPMC -Braddock!

Cons

Working in the health field, it is a major plus if you are able to turn ANY negative into a positive, so therefore; with this question the only thing I can answer is that the only downside of working at UPMC is knowing that there's several thousand health care workers of OTHER companies who are deprived the privileges and pride of knowing they work for one of the nation's top health care providers-UPMC!

Pros

It looks good on a resume.

Cons

Lack of communication, sub standard pay and lack of real advancement opportunities. Raises normally do not keep pace with the cost of living and inflation increases. Senior management compensation is treated differently than every other employee, even though we are all employees. Everyone needs to play by the same compensation rules. someone's base salary.

Pros

Great benefits - days off are called PTO (paid time off) and can be used either for sick time or vacation time. Our supervisors were generally very flexible when we asked to take time off. The ability to buy paid time off each year, the ability to carry over unused PTO and the low cost of medical/dental/vision benefits have me (kind of!) wishing I still worked at UPMC. Their benefits are seriously good. Did I mention the ability to earn PTO for simply donating blood to the Pittsburgh Blood Bank, on UPMC's time?

Cons

Lack of communication from superiors; Some employees are hired in plum positions based on promises or personalities, not experience, then prove disappointing; Questionable decisions such as the dismantling of the corporate communications Web team (are they regressing instead of progressing technologically?) that kept the Web site current and growing, at the same time the site was experiencing great demand from internal departments wishing to publicize the medical services offered; The president's right-hand woman has lots of influence but tends to base decisions on her like or dislike of employees, not evidence that the presented idea will or will not work or whether the proposed idea will benefit UPMC as a whole.
