Pros

Large teaching hospital in desirable city.

Cons

1. Absolutely NO work life balance. Only 15days of vacation per year for first 10 years ten of employment. 2. Impossible to switch schedules for a day off. You have to call out sick. 3. Poor morale with staff because of chief CRNA. About 10 CRNAs quit last year. 4. Management will not pay you if you come early to setup for a big case, but will scrutinize every minute you are overtime. 5. Manager ignores her staff, vindictive, and bullies her staff. Your schedule will change in an unfavorable manner if you upset her. Blatant nepotism in hiring process. 6. Assistant CRNA managers will encourage you to leave early and encourage you to use comp time/vacation time to lower the CRNA budget. Assistant CRNA managers will scrutinize every minute between cases. 7. Bad sign when the only positive review on Glassdoor is from the chief CRNA .

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.
