- 4.0Dec 5, 2023Staff Nurse ICurrent Employee, less than 1 yearChicago, IL

- 1.0Nov 8, 2023IT Technical AssociateFormer Employee, less than 1 yearChicago, IL
Pros
University benefits, holidays and educations benefits
Cons
This is a union run employer, so expect "some" low quality co-workers that are under no threat of being fired for their poor performance and toxicity. This is fine if you want to work in a "checked out" work environment. Long term employees know how to game the system and work divisively instead of collaboratively. My HR on-boarding experience was probably the worst I have ever encountered in my career as they do not represent the university in a positive way.

- 3.0May 10, 2023Executive AssistantCurrent Employee, more than 5 yearsChicago, IL
Pros
There's a lot of flexibility here. The benefits are very good and we get a lot of vacation/sick time--so much to be the envy of others. As a state employer, employee rights, discrimination, harassment are all taken seriously.
Cons
The bad news is that the departments have more of an adversarial feel rather than a working together toward a common goal. Getting technological improvements moves very slowly and process protocols are ridiculously complicated. There tends to be a lot of political infighting. Also, it is really difficult to get a raise here beyond a few cost-of-living increases. Upward mobility is difficult--you basically have to move out of your department into a completely different job in order to move up.
