Phoenix, AZ

Current Employee – been working at Mayo Clinic part-time for more than 3 years

ProsMy supervisors and most of my other fellow employees are great, which is not just chance - it is the product of the company culture that Mayo Clinic cultivates, starting with orientation for several days. They try to keep pay above average and give good benefits. They require continuing education and encourage moving up within the company, even between departments.

ConsAnnual pay increases are dependent upon meeting certain requirements - basically doing your job competently. You are always made aware of what those expectations are and where your performance is lacking. If you don't negotiate a higher pay when hired on, it's difficult to increase it other than through those annual fixed (percentage) pay bumps.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to stress the Mayo Way, helping all employees care more about giving excellent service to clients. Mayo Clinic employees have a lot of pride in being the best, and encountering clients who are rightly upset due to their care, while not common, is still demoralizing. Continuous improvement in customer service quality is as important (or more so) than evidence-based medicine, because all employees and patients experience customer service, good or bad.

Current Employee – been working at Mayo Clinic

ProsHelping others who are ill

ConsNothing much else in Rochester except Mayo and IBM. If you want to do any shopping that's not picked over you need to go someplace else.

Advice to Senior ManagementYou're at the 10,000 foot level. Come down to the ground where the little guy works. PLEASE!

Rochester, MN

Current Employee – been working at Mayo Clinic full-time for more than 10 years

ProsMayo Clinic has many wonderful benefits, and one of those benefits is parking priviledge after approximately 10 years of service. Mayo pays subsidies for riding commuter buses for employees who work away from Rochester.

ConsAt times Mayo can be beaurocratic and can be political.

Advice to Senior ManagementBullying in the workplace is an ever present concern and for some employees it can cause health concerns, this needs to be addressed
