What is the salary like at UCSF Health?

Great pay, benefits, a lot of room to learn and grow. Option for 12 and 10 hour shifts.

Poorly managed, lack of communication, equipment always broken, understaffed, they use students as employees, poor training. Disregards union contract.

Great pay and benefits including 40+ days off a year between PTO and holidays

Terrible incompetent leadership who eat their way to the top and never follow the 'pride' values of the organization. Prepare to be completely disrespected by every leader

Competitive salaries, pension plan, smart and motivated co-workers

UCSF has recently turned pretty blatently anti-remote-work, at least in IT and the Epic teams, after allowing people to move out of state in the pandemic. As a result, experienced staff are leaving. Not sure how much is coming from the CEO or from UCOP, but the morale is low

Good pay compared to other residencies

Expensive area to live in

Good pay and good benefits

UCSF has talented staff, but poor leadership overshadows the positives. New rules for 2026 clearly show that administration doesn’t care about employees’ well-being or work-life balance. Communication is inconsistent, and staff concerns are ignored. Morale has suffered because leadership prioritizes policy over people.

Good pay and good benefits

Exhausted and burnt out lol

Great pay as well as benefits.

Very hierarchical and matrixed organization.

good pay, nice people, flexibility

culture, management, lack of transparency, HR matters are difficult to navigate.

Dedicated, smart colleagues. Good pay, outstanding benefits. Nearly everyone believes in the mission of providing outstanding care for some of the most difficult cases.

The health system now seems more focused on growth and finances than on people and the UCSF mission. New leadership styles include screaming at people in meetings. PRIDE values? No longer. And if you're not a clinician, UCSF doesn't seem to believe in training people to do their jobs... you're just expected to figure it out. Managers in particular get no training and no support.

Good money and flexibility for RNs

Pay for parking, commuting is tricky
