Pros

Great health insurance and pension 8 hours work - can leave on time 15 vacation a year off on veteran's day one a floating holiday (Ceasar Chavez Day) free shuttle bus no over time

Cons

Poor/ old management style super -mirco management Politics Can't voice about your opinions Managers take revenge They don't like staff taking sick leave; they may threaten to fire you or call to your home to distrub you They only treat patients well; but not the staff MDs are superiors No respect from MDs Very minimal promotion opportunities No pay raise for 3 years Many Spys Many job openings are not real --- they already have candidate in mind... They always blame people whenever things go wrong. People who've been there for a long time --- have attitude; they don't do their work. The lower level do all the work; but the mid level management take the praise and the top management get the money...

Pros

Opportunities to learn new skills. My team is excellent.

Cons

New leadership models prioritize profit over employee well-being. They are starting to thin out our staffing more and more. Morale is very low right now on our unit ...

Pros

The people that work at UCSF are some of the most intelligent analysts I've ever worked with in 15 years of Health IT. Most are ex-Epic employees with strong backgrounds in project managament and IT,

Cons

UCSF recently decided to reclassify all remote employees as "Felxible" without their input or permission. As a result, employees must now travel to the office WITHOUT expenses paid. This means that flights, hotels, etc. are NOT reimbursed and are paid by the employee. UCSF has not answered to what problem they are trying to solve with this, and refuses to answer how this action aligns with goals such as sustainability (carbon emissions), equity (women and disabled are more impacted by eliminating remote work), working accommodating (UCSF does not have the physical space for all of the Clinical Systems department to be on site. There is no locked storage or accessible workspaces.), safety (there is no shuttle for UCSF to all locations that have been mentioned for work). UCSF limits employee growth, by eliminating actual promotions with "role based work". In other words, you have to do more work without compensation for it. They have also completely reneged on remote management, meaning that most employees are now at a dead end.
