Pros
The values of UPMC are extensive and definitely create a positive environment. Some of the best people I've ever worked with work there. Whenever the whole hospital achieves something, such as Magnet Status, management goes around and gives out cake or pizza usually. Patient safety is a major focus and the hospital comes up with new ideas frequently to keep improving this aspect of patient care.
Cons
Whenever there is an issue within the unit regarding respect for the staff from patients or their families, management does not listen. As soon as we walk into the doors of the hospital we lose our basic human rights; for example, a patient was swearing, threatening, and punched one of the nurses and nothing was done about it. Security doesn't really do anything to help the staff.
