University of Utah Hospitals & Clinics Reviews

Pros

Very amazing workplace to be in

Pros

Great benifits, and flexible.

Pros

Great benefits, including health insurance, gym discounts, 401k, discounts to local businesses. There is a strong emphasis in education, where they will help you maintain certifications, give extra training, and provide amazing courses. Work environment completely depends on which department you work for. There is a program called "Imagine Perfect Care" where any employee can submit ideas to improve the hospital. Upper management even recognizes these efforts, and I think that program gives a lot of unity to the organization.

Pros

Leadership practices what they preach when it comes to core values

Pros

Great benefits
Tuition discount
Good "work family"

Pros

The BEST place I've ever worked, only left due to relocation for significant others job. Very clean and well-maintained hospital. Staff at all levels were amazing. Enjoyed working and learning with the residents. Nice to have all hands on deck when there's an emergency. The best teamwork I have ever experienced! Truly miss that place. Plus got to love the 24hr full-service Starbucks in the main lobby!

Pros

Great health benefits, retirement, flexibility

Advice to Management

Give more training to leadership and staff about leadership, integrity, diversity, and respect. Chief Medical Information Officer is condescending to females in the work place as well as other male leaders. Female leaders at the U are often very self-centered and manipulative. They need to work on building teams and having less political drama and red tape and focus truly on the patients and the employees well-being. Leadership also lacks vision around financial planning and it has been a hot mess ever since Vivian Lee stepped down. The uncertainty with new leadership coming on has been very rocky.

Pros

Great pay. Great Boss! I love my job.

Pros

-Amazing Providers
-Great patients and families
-Decent wage

Advice to Management

When a clinic (Pediatrics, Clinic 6) has nearly 80% of it’s staff overturn in such a short period of time, maybe check in with the employees that are still there to see what’s going on and how we can be better supported. Even exit interviews of those leaving would be helpful. I assure you there is a reason. It’s not coincidence that everyone found new jobs within a few months. We continue to “do great” according to the EPE scores and we get a pretty little plaque to hang on our wall. Maybe when you guys bring by our plaque and treats and read good patients reviews, you should spend that time talking to staff and getting their feedback.

Also, building a brand new building right next to the school of medicine, but not having enough space for half the outpatient clinics is ridiculous. You make enough money to change the logo, maybe spend some of it on ensuring your patients will have clinics to be seen in after the building is torn down. This also causes major concern with staff. At this point, we speculate we may be losing our jobs and our providers will be dispersed out to community clinics. We don’t see another possible outcome since the Univeristy apparently doesn’t make room for the clinics that aren’t performing surgeries and bringing in big money.

Lastly, parking. WTF!? Get it together. Employee parking is a joke. Patient parking sucks just as bad. We lose patients constantly due to them not being able to find parking. Patients are constantly late due to parking, some are turned away, others are seen but it puts everyone’s schedule behind. Use those brains that created the new “University of Utah Health” brand and logo, and fix the parking. All those brilliant minds have to have a solution somewhere.

Pros

Good benefits with health insurance and 401 matching.

Advice to Management

New managers need to be the trained by a seasoned manager with good people skills.
