Pros

If you’ve got a lot of years experience, the pay isn’t horrible. The insurance and benefits is suppose to be nice because it’s technically a state job and so insurance and retirement are state plans. You get a decent amount of sick time and vacation, but with how understaffed it is, it usually just piles up and doesn’t get used much. If you get sick with covid, they also give you 5 days of free sick time for that time out so that you don’t have to dig into your own sick time when you’re quarantined.

Cons

Understaffed, pay isn’t anything terrific unless you’ve got a ton of years experience. The parking situation isn’t the best, not the best areas, and in the winter the walk from the parking lots to the hospital can be pretty rough with poorly plowed sidewalks if you miss the shuttle or just decide to walk instead of take the shuttle service offered.

Pros

The union advocates strongly for employees and negotiates with SUNY actively. Overall great benefits and friendly working environment. Great work-life balance.

Cons

Upstate is less ambitious in cutting-edge research. The support of research and scholarship development is not impressive. The administrative system is very slow given its government affiliation.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits

Cons

Selfish co-worker(s). Director + 2022 management didn't care about patients or listen to the experienced workers. Could've easily changed some things for the better, but they don't care. Adding more work all the time with short staffed workforce. Other departments hire lazy people, instead of hard working people.
