Pros

Excellent opportunities to learn Exciting mission Growing, and wants to do so much for the region Individuals doing incredible work Good benefits (medical, dental, vision) carried my family on my insurance All senior management talks a good talk about change, some senior management truly invested

Cons

Short staffed (its a feature, not a bug) Incentivizing the wrong work Poor management in some areas HR is wildly ineffective Low pay (UPMC is finally realizing they need to catch up for front line, but everyone else is still underpaid)

DON’T do it

Pros

Work from home, decent and affordable benefits

Cons

Just don’t. Don’t apply here, don’t accept a position here, it will suck the soul out of you. Across the board whether you are in a corporate setting or hospital staff, the entire company is severely understaffed and underpaid (even before Covid). UPMC would rather pocket it’s profits to further monopolize the job industry in PA (as the largest employer) and continue to build new fancy structures and take over more hospital chains instead of paying their employees decent wages. They expect you to meet all goals and compliancy whenever it realistically would take 2-3 people to maintain their expectations (but they want 1 person to cover it). Get used to working 70-80 hours a week with no overtime pay and no worries worklife balance and poor sleep and mental health. I watched several coworkers over the years take medical leaves because their mental health suffered so badly working here. Massive turnover, a revolving door of new employees being hired with little knowledge and veteraned staff leaving out of frustration. Terrible training, thrown to the wolves, acquiring caseloads already several months behind right out of the gate. You are set up for failure. Micromanaged. And yet even though you feel like a slave or a robot you still barely make enough money to get your bills paid. Absolutely do not do it if you care about having a life to live and maintaining your mental health.

Pros

As one of Western PA's largest employers and a high turn-over rate and their pursuit of monopoly in the health care industry in the area numerous employment opportunities exist

Cons

The diversity and inclusion program is an illusion , It has the appearance of equality until you get beneath the surface in the various departments.
