University Health System Reviews

The work environment rewards poor performers by letting them go unaddressed. Instead of coaching these team members, leadership tends to lean heavily on their top performers without appropriate compensation or recognition. The top performers get 3 to 4% raises annually while the lowest performers get 2% - a system that provides very little motivation to exceed expectations when it seems to be perfectly acceptable avoid doing even the bare minimum. UH does not allow for remote work, does not pay for on-call time, and does have company-provided devices.

A real issue is that there is an abundance of very young nursing staff. Cliques run rampant and tend to cause issues within the units. Additionally, when leadership within the unit has worked with said clique and they're all buddies....needless to say, certain people get away with murder and others get screwed. They tend to play favorites such as over looking the nurse with 13 years of experience to allow their buddy, who only had a year or two worth of experience to train new staff members. Their decisions are inappropriate and based on who they like and who they go on vacation with....not what is in the best interest of the unit. I loved my job there but I couldn't tolerate the hostile work environment that was being created and condoned. The director would make occasional, brief appearances but one of the PCCs actually ran the show....and she was running it into the ground. Very sad. It could've been an amazing unit
