Vanderbilt University Medical Center reviews

Vanderbilt is by far the most employee-unfriendly place I have ever worked. It is notorious for its low pay, and it's the only place I've ever known of that requires its employees to pay to park for the "privilege" of working for them. In the past 5 years, we have received only 2 very tiny raises (the last one was just enough to cover their rate increase for parking). At the same time, they have continually cut our benefits. If there were any other research hospital in the area that had jobs available, I believe just about all of my co-workers would leave.

If you’re a person of color, you won’t find many people that look like you especially in the ICU on staff or upward in management The culture is driven with fragility and microagressions If you don’t assimilate, you will be on an island on your own - making it hard for you to get asked for any advanced training You have to keep your head on a swivel and speak up for yourself - keep a written record They pick and choose who and when to enforce policies - some they make up on the fly
