      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Health insurance premium Retirement (must put in 5 years to be 100% vested)

      Cons

      Low wage for amount of work and responsibilities. Short staffed is always an issue due to turnover rate. Rather than pay the employees a fair salary they hire travelers. No HR on site. Questions or requests all sent by a “ticket”.

      They’re more or less alright as an employer

      Medical assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits between the two institutions you can work for under the UW Health name. Additional benefits can be added but you don’t have to. Work-Life balance is mostly okay if you know how to leave work at work.

      Cons

      Currently they’re expecting many areas of staff to over perform to compensate for administrations poor budgeting. Causes a lot of interpersonal stress amongst co-workers and lack of faith in administrators.

      No Professional Growth - Get In, Get Out

      Anesthesia technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great peers, clinical staff, and immediate manager during my time there. Lots of unique hands on clinical experience gained in a generally positive environment.

      Cons

      There are no growth opportunities. AM/PM shifts have 1 lead only. For young professionals (and college students) the position is designed as a stepping stone with a short lifecycle. UW Health does not mirror other academic medical centers that include Anesthesia Tech I, II, III growth sequences. Immediate manager was changed to a nursing position and now lacks direct experience in role. This change to nurse management blocked all potential experienced in house qualified tech applicants to lead their own team. Creative ideas and solutions fail to be incorporated by upper management to maintain the status quo regardless of policy/compliance standards, potential long term benefits for the organization, or support of immediate manager. Pay. You can be the most effective and capable on the team, but there is no path to translate that to earnings unless selected for random minor bonuses.
