What are perks and other benefits like at Rush University Medical Center?

Good benefits , opportunities to further education

PTO sometimes difficult to get

The OR is incredibly well-supported. Amazing manager. Team is good at giving lunch breaks. Rush does a good job advocating for innovative and quality care.

I worked at Rush for six years, during that time I had excellent performance reviews with either no annual raise or literally a handful of cents. The finance department does not endorse cost of living adjustments to their wages, so they do not guarantee any raises. Benefits have been significantly rolled back, healthcare premiums increase every year, and despite feeling well supported in the OR (I have worked other units as well), every unit is severely understaffed, leading to constant bombarded on your days off with “SOS” calls, required overtime and call. If Rush spent even half of the money that they have spent on union busting on increased salaries, hiring, and benefits, they would have better retention. The clinical ladder system that they have in place essentially pays RNs slightly more to take on the work that should be done by an educator or quality/compliance coordinator - which is really taking advantage of their employees. I left for better work-life balance and better compensation.

Good benefits and fair pay

Just started I am new

Flexible schedule, friendly employees, good benefits

All management could use an honest look in the mirror.

The pay and benefits were pretty decent

The culture of the surgical teams was toxic - basically you have to “prove” yourself to even be acknowledged. Otherwise, if they know you’re new… good luck because you’re going to get yelled at and treated in a demeaning way The staff has become very jaded to the mistreatments of people in the OR & overall everyone seems miserable coming to work Good luck trying to find the manager because her presence is almost non-existent unless joint commission is roaming around Management only cares about having a body accounted for in the room. Even if you weren’t properly trained during orientation on how to do certain surgeries, they’ll throw you in anyway- it’s so dangerous. The on call requirements sucked & if you’re scheduled to be on call during the weekends… guess what: you’ll most likely get called in (news flash: the cases are 95% likely not to be actual emergent cases)

good benefits, great management and coworkers

pay, lack of opportunities for upward mobility

If you are new you might be able to get a job here for experience on your resume.

Extremely toxic work environment. Employees hide, leave during their shift while clocked in, bully each other, constant gossiping, won't do the basics of their job. Good employees leave and bad ones stay. Pay and benefits are awful, not comparable to any local hospitals, and raises are nonexistent (the 10 cent increase is more than offset by worsening of benefits and inflation). Management has no motivation to improve the culture, as they want turnaround with constant new staff without experience so they can keep wages low. You won't know your schedule until for the next month until less than a week before. They are constantly messing up pay checks and not paying your properly. Would not recommend.

you have a lot of schedule flexibility and autonomy in the lab

no room to advance, abysmal pay and benefits

Great benefits and management is flexible with scheduling Good job intro entry position into inpatient pharmacy

Getting an increase in pay could be difficult.
