University of Utah Hospitals & Clinics Reviews

Pros

great benefits for you and your family. They will help pay for BSN.

Cons

long hours, med surg understaffed with CNAs

Pros

Have received several raises in the past couple of years— they are trying to retain their staff. Excellent co-workers, good facilities. New units being built all the time. Level 1 trauma center = lots of learning opportunities. Best hospital in the state. We see the sickest of the sick. Since covid started they’ve been paying lots of money for extra shifts. Some people have made some serious money from working overtime.

Cons

They are not competitive in their hiring practices- sign on bonuses for nurses and CNAs are a bit of a joke. I believe HCAs can get up to $1000 in two installments: 500 upon hire and 500 after 12 months if they remain full-time. I don’t know for sure if it’s the same for nurses. I’ve heard from other nurse managers in other states that some of their hospitals were giving $10,000 sign-on bonuses! But of course Utah nurses have never been paid competitively because of the huge supply. They’ve hired travelers instead of paying their own nurses more competitively. Having to pay for scarce, far-away parking is not cool. They keep “re-inventing” the benefits package without listening to what people care about: those younger than 26 would care more to have more sick days than to have a great, affordable health insurance, but there’s no flexibility to pick and choose which benefits fit a lifestyle best.

Pros

Pays alright but not worth oppressive environment.

Cons

Leadership ignores discrimination pleas and will retaliate if you challenge their authority. I would not work here if you are non-white. Your grievances about race or mental health will turn into reasons to get rid of you. If you do get hired I would document and record any and every interaction that makes you feel unheard and invisible. Because you are.

Pros

Well-managed organization. Attempts are continuously made to listen to employees and improve.

Cons

I don't have any complaints but some of my coworkers claimed the pay is better elsewhere. However, the benefits are so good that this made up for it in my opinion.

Pros

The U is a great place to work for with great benefits and state benefits.

Cons

The health plans insurance side is ran horribly. Micromanaged to severe extent, and unwilling to change with the growing environment. High turnover and ZERO employee retention. No room to grow, even though they say there is, and once a supe or manager dislikes something you say or do, you are pegged and prevented from ever doing anything or moving anywhere. They drive you out of liking the job and blame you for their lack of guidance, retention and call stats. Service levels suck cause they cannot keep employees.
