UPMC

what is everyone's position? And, like how much are we all making? I'm curious to see if what we are getting paid, and if it's comparable to each other. I'll go first! I'm a manager of the operation for the administration team, making 62,350. Have an MHA degree and 4 years of experience. Also, have a bachelor's degree in biology. Started with UPMC last July after grad school.

      Sterile Processing Technician

      Cumberland, MD

      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great opportunity to enter the medical field. UPMC offers 6 months on job training for Sterile Processing techs. Once you have the required 400 hours in the various areas, you can apply for certification.

      Cons

      The starting pay in Cumberland is well below the national average for this industry. They do not give pay raises for becoming certified. Opportunities to branch off into Surgical tech aren’t often approved by management with this hospital and many leave to climb the career ladder. You’re required to work rotating shifts including weekends and overnights. This schedule doesn’t offer good life/work balance.

        Business Outlook

        Pros

        job stability, variety of positions, benefits are adequate

        Cons

        I’ve worked at a few other health networks outside of the Pittsburgh area and UPMC is by far the worst I have encountered anywhere. Problems include, but are not limited to, poor pay, unsafe nurse-patient ratios, management does not care about staff or patients, hospital does not practice evidence based care to patients, does not support employees who are struggling, does not allow for any work-life balance, makes both patients and staff pay for parking, no weekend shift differential, constant gaslighting, and obvious greed. I have witnessed multiple scenarios where patients (including infants) have almost died due to UPMC policy and negligence.

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
