Make a real difference
Employee (Current Employee), Houston, Texas –
Pros: making a difference, benefits, opportunities to advance, environment for learning.
Cons: fast pace environment but i like it, doesn't get boring.
Great place to work. I don't do direct patient care and I still feel like my role is valued and I indirectly affect the patients experience. There are many opportunities to advance and learn new things. You can tell that employees have a passion for their job and the patients. That's why I'm here, for the patients.

A great place to work where I was able to use innovative ideas to create more business for our campus life.
Patient Services Coordinator (Current Employee), Breast Center –
Pros: great atmosphere to neet all types of people
Cons: non-benefits eligible, poor compensation
Overall, the company gave me room to provide innovative ideas to target campus life to get more business into our cafe. We had several avenues of execution such as, jazz nights, which consisted of poetry and live music. We had "happy hour" specials, where our beverages were half off, etc.

My department is very unprofessional
job (Current Employee), Houston, Texas/Medical Center –
Pros: i can get my 40 hours, breaks and lunches.
Cons: open door policy is not enforced, retaliation, and pay is low.
This could be a great company to work for but ALL departments are different. The department I work in is not diverse as far as supervisors and seniors. Not easy to advance into a different position. Rude and loud talking workers, clickish, supervisors show favorites. I have been at M.D Anderson for three years and whenever the opportunity come available – more...  I will more to a different place to work. – less
