UCHealth reviews about "people"

They would rather find ways to save money than make sure their employees are taken care of. Our department was told hiring more people won't help the issues we are having with being understaffed. The company keeps growing but, refuses to staff for the growth.

Stressful environment, lack of support from HR, inability to move up in company

- different leads/senior employees had drastically different ways of doing the same thing and you can be held to shifting/unclear standards - can be understaffed

can feel like middle/high school life, staff is young but motivated

If you stay there long term your pay will under perform the market significantly. Work life balance is a joke and PTO is little to none. You'll have to choose between being sick and Christmas.

As time went on, I went from someone that was an asset, to maybe someone who wasn't appreciated nearly as much. My impact was minimized, my job role was changed without compensation, and I fell victim to gaslighting practices. I eventually lost direction of what my job and role was, and no guidance was given to me. - Working beyond the 40 hour week in administrative roles are never rewarded or balanced. If you work 12 hours one day because of additional meetings, emergencies, or need to hit certain goals, you cannot take a few hours off from a different day. I eventually saw myself working 50-60 hour weeks in a 40 hour period with no overtime. - Leadership can sometimes be resistant to change and vocalizing support for stretched roles. - Favortism is very apparent. - Change of leadership can change your role very quickly, and in my experience, without discussing with you first. - Sharing concerns doesn't always benefit you. In fact, I felt punished or otherwise tossed to the side for sharing my concerns, which I eventually felt like keeping my mouth shut was better for me. - Change takes a very long time to happen. - PTO policy is terrible. You accumulate the lowest hours for the first year, and while it gradually increases, you have to choose PTO wisely. Staff are "encouraged" to take off on holidays (state and fed), but you HAVE to use your own PTO to take it off, otherwise you have to work. No PTO is granted on any occasion.

Education department can be inconsistent, most FTOs are great but some are terrible, I got a terrible one toward the end of my FTO period. Nuance flies over management's head, they make rules arbitrary rules not related to patient care, and they are inconsistent in enforcing them. Diversity is atrocious, though I don't necessarily think that's their fault, at least not completely, given the demographics of northern Colorado. There can be some tone-deaf or insensitive communications from management or EMTs/paramedics if you're a member of a minority community (BIPOC, LGBTQ+), hours are terrible (12 is fine, 13.5 not so much), inflexible hierarchy.

Pay is below market value

Administration can sometimes be focused on the wrong things.
