University Health Network Reviews

Pros

- Great staff -Great learning environment - Managers want you to succeed

Cons

If you live away from Toronto, it can be difficult to get to work though there are many public transit options

Pros

You have a job and it pays decent. You get free food and items from time to time. You can get discounts on hotels and other things.

Cons

Ward clerks are not unionized. If you aren't unionized, you will get tossed out if you have a petty manager. Don't even think of going to HR without a union, because they're internal. They're unprofessional and stand behind the managers. If you have a mental health crisis, don't expect anyone to care. Your manager may get rid of you and even block you from getting another job if they are petty enough. Oh, and it also pays less for clerks when compared to other hospital networks. I am severely mentally and emotionally scarred from the treatment I received after working there for nearly eight years.

Pros

Decent benefits and variety of job opportunities

Cons

Not much opportunity for growth which means you have to venture outside your department to grow. Nursing leadership at one UHN hospital can be academic snobs looking more at education than experience and contributions to department

Pros

Easy-going, friendly, helpful teammates who are willing to share their knowledge and offer informal on the job training. Work from home during pandemic. Diversity is embraced.

Cons

Did not get to work on developing algorithms in my work when I was there, but that might vary between teams. Found it difficult to move to a more senior position. Working from home can get boring after a while.

Pros

Large downtown hospital network with lots of innovative projects going on. Opportunity to learn daily. Great people - mostly. Ability to impact the lives and offer hope and great care to patients. Townhalls are good. Wish we had more of them.

Cons

Typical hospital issues of too much work for too little pay. Pays about what other hospitals pay. Many admin roles work remotely now, which make some things harder to do. Executive are disconnected with on the ground employees. Downtown Toronto expensive. HR department is very inexperienced and not very effective.
