- 5.0FEATURED REVIEWJun 17, 2023Patient Care TechnicianCurrent Employee, more than 3 yearsNew York, NY
Pros
Here's my honest opinion...I've worked in the UES location for almost 4 years. I love the location and the people I work with. My manager is great and she is fair. She always pushes you to do better and cares. Because of her I was able to return to school and pursue my degree. The tuition reimbursement is great, the benefits are phenomenal, the 401k plan is pretty good too. The overtime is unlimited when there is a need. I've worked at both Koch and the main campus and all I can say is that the people here are good and they care. Even under stressful situations we usually come together and make things work. I truly can't see myself working anywhere else. I love providing quality care to my patients because that's what they deserve. When patients come here they know that they are in good hands. We all make sure of it. I am so fortunate to be here.
Cons
None that I can think of....This is a great place to work for and yes people have left to go to other hospitals, thinking the grass would be greener on the other side. One thing I will say is that no hospital in NYC tops Memorial Sloan Kettering, so when people leave they eventually come back because of the family dynamic we have here.

- 1.0Sep 11, 2023Office CoordinatorCurrent Employee, more than 1 year
Pros
You get to meet nice coworkers who just make jokes about how horrible the job is
Cons
You’re sold on the idea that it’s a great stepping stone and within 6 months doors will open. You’re not told that the wait is actually a year to even be considered. You’re also not told of the amount of exhausting work that is thrown at you. I personally have to cover 3 providers alone on a daily basis because management doesn’t value us. As an OC you try your hardest and are never heard, respected or even assisted. You can be drowning in work but because you showed up to work that’s all that matters. Management tries to act like the work isn’t too much and insists on asking more from you. I suggest take whatever is said during the interview with a grain of salt because it’s all lies.

Many great and encouraging people in the lab.

- 4.0Sep 14, 2023Clinical Research CoordinatorCurrent Employee, more than 1 year
Pros
Great health benefits. If an employee or family member of an employee gets diagnosed with cancer, they're made a priority and their healthcare is significantly expedited.
Cons
Poor retention rates on all levels, lacks consistent management
- 4.0Sep 13, 2023Anonymous EmployeeCurrent EmployeeNew York, NY
Pros
Great work-life balance, employee loyalty (many people have worked at MSK for decades), good culture
Cons
Slow to change/improve, some departments understaffed, pay doesn't meet the market salary for similar hospital positions in NYC
- 4.0Jun 22, 2023Budget AssociateFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsNew York, NY
Pros
Starting pay tends to be more competitive than other New York City hospitals. Great health insurance, generous $12K tuition reimbursement, and good 401k match plan. Some jobs have remote flexibility. Fantastic mission and very smart people to work with.
Cons
Pay increases aren't performance-based unless your manager really goes to bat for you. You'll likely get a standard cost of living raise every year. I also never received any type of bonus for "exceeding expectations". While there is a good process in place for employees to apply to internal positions, salary for these internal transfers are not handled appropriately. Rather than getting paid the appropriate value of the new role, HR tends to base your new compensation as a percentage increase (usually no more than 10%) of your current role.
