UMPhysicians Reviews

Cons

Short staff, Minneapolis site we have to pay for parking

Cons

Chaotic culture. Unclear strategic plan.

Cons

Very difficult to take time off, salaried staff expected to work in excess of 40 hours on a regular basis making work-life balance difficult, management allowed to scream and demean staff with no repercussions. My department had a pricey holiday lunch and then we all had to pay our own tab. It was very odd.

Cons

Due to a budget deficit, staffing is short and employees are expected to do more work without any sort of additional compensation. No real room for growth.

Cons

Supervisors have no one to answer to and are never held accountable. I have not even seen our upper management in months. They talk a big talk but it's very clear that they have a "closed door" policy. I have never worked for a company that had this much turnover and disfunction. Unfortunately I see it affecting our patients' care on a regular basis.

Cons

Completely dysfunctional administration. Management is too busy, and too far removed to know what is going on with their employees. A lot of gaps in patient care. The left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. Many incongruencies.

Cons

Upper management is all about profit! They don't care how long you have been an employee for, they will eliminate your job if need be without understanding the importance of your role for patient care. They are broke now that Fairview has merged with Healtheast. UMMC wanted to take over FV but that didn't happen. FV is funding Healtheast now, which means UMP is going broke and they are making all sorts of cuts. I've been with the company for 4 years, and was just told by HR that my dept is being eliminated. The only way I can get my severance pay is to train the people who are replacing me for one whole month! What a slap on the face! Beware!

Cons

Mgmt has NO idea how to keep employees. There is MAJOR turnover. Morale is VERY LOW. Tattling is encouraged. NO positive feedback. They toss people into departments they are not familiar with - "we will train you" never happens.

Cons

If you are not in the union, UMP will walk ALL OVER you. The UMP structure is a bit strange. You can work in a department where some workers are union and others aren't. I happened to work for two different departments simultaneously. I was not in the union. One dpt had union workers, the other had none. World of difference in environments. When I came up for performance review in the non-union dpt, though there had been zero complaints about my performance during the year, surprise surprise ... suddenly I wasn't making enough effort, I was choosing to LEAVE ON TIME for my personal life instead of "doing what it takes." And I received no raise after a year of consistently showing up on time, contributing ideas, putting on a friendly face and really caring about helping our patients.
 At the dpt with union, I got a great review and a raise. Morale was noticeably better than the other dpt.

Cons

Management in incompetent and the most unorganized I've ever seen in 18 years of working with different companies. Management uses their employees for their own benefit - they do not care about employees. All UMP cares about is money. Stay Far Away from this company.
