Pros
The benefits are decent. Amazing staff and some of the coolest people I've met over the years. Good work experience.
Cons
People are leaving in droves. No contracts being made with the unions, no pay raises for over two years, no cost of living increases, and serious pay inequities across the board. Our team has almost vanished, no new members have been hired, and the work keeps piling up. Management apparently does not listen to its own staff and our HR Department is a complete joke.
Advice to Management
Secure a contract with your unions. Address pay inequities. Pay hardworking and dedicated staff appropriately. Staff teams properly!

UC San Diego Health does not have Assistant Buyers and our Supply Chain/Procurement Office is not in La Jolla. This comment is most likely from a different division within UCSD and Glassdoor has been asked to remove it.
