Collaborative academic research environment
Lab Technician (Former Employee), Milwaukee, WI – May 15, 2013
Pros: free food, challenging atmosphere
Cons: optimizing procedures and protocols
A typical day of work involves organization of the lab, ordering supplies, restocking supplies, communication between coworkers and advisor, literature searches, setting up and performing experiments, analyzing and interpreting data.

The hardest part of the job is optimizing procedures and protocols.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the staff – more... and the experiments that eventually work. – less

An exciting, diverse place to work where there are endless opportunities to learn with great benefits
Data Specialist II/III (Former Employee), Milwaukee, WI – February 5, 2013
Pros: free classes, great benefits, personal doctors close by, constant opportunities to learn
Cons: no set breaks - only half hour lunch, average pay
Very diverse workplace. Co-workers are very friendly and served as good resources when assistance was needed to do my job. The most enjoyable part of this job was constantly learning new things, such as using various data bases and applications. Because the job was a part of a medical college, technical classes (MS Word, Excel) were free. You were allowed – more... to take as many classes and you wanted. The hardest part of my job was not knowing how to move up within the department. There were no set guidelines in place explaining how to advance. – less

Overall my 24 years working at MCW enabled me to advance in Administrative positions.
Program Associate (Current Employee), Milwaukee, WI – October 22, 2012
Pros: letting you work independently with very little supervision.
Cons: lack of upper management communication
Working with top level Executive management was both enjoyable and beneficial to me regarding advancement in multiple skills. Co-workers worked as a team and everyone had a different skill set that we shared with each other. Day was filled with making multiple appointments on outlook, customer service, minute taking and coordinating overall office logistics. – more... Most enjoyable part of the Executive positions I held was providing my Administrative skills. – less

Growing teaching institution offering opportunities for students and employees, great place to work.
Financial Analyst III (Former Employee), Milwaukee, WI – October 15, 2012
Pros: excellent benefit package and retirement plan
A typical day at work included but not limited to analyzing and compiling data for senior management review, problem solving, office management; reviewing and approving purchases and reimbursements.

I learned the importance of being a team player, even though you may work well independently you have a lot to offer in a team setting. It allows for every – more... individual to teach and be taught; learn to share knowledge.

Management was fair in acknowledging and evaluating employee performance.

In my tenure at the Medical College, I have worked well with my co-workers. My experience has been very professional and have always had the help of any co-worker when needed; enjoyed working with the Medical College of Wisconsin team.

The hardest part of the job was getting mangement to communicate directions and changes to staff on the front end as opposed to the latter. The lack of communication made for completion of projects difficult be not impossible. It allowed for communication of inquiry to be informed.

Working with others who share the same goals as the company and department. The ability to work together and do whatever it takes to accomplish the task at hand. – less

a day on the job
Medical Assistant (Current Employee), Milwaukee, WI – August 24, 2012
Pros: flexible, staff is great, benefits excellent
Cons: not very busy, slow pace, lots of data entry
its a great place to work for someone thats not looking to work hard. a typical day is getting vitals on patient and checking blood sugars. Every once in a while you get to assist with a biopsy. The rest of my day is spent abstracting(data entry) putting patients records in the computer. Management is nice and can flexible at times. If there is a problem – more... it is address and handle very quickly. The hard part about my job is if our system is being updated. Then you have to go to training for the new system. The enjoyable part of the job is working with a team of Great people. Out of all of my 13 years of working as a medical assistant, I never worked with such nice people. – less

Wouldn't recommend this employer to my worst enemy.
Coordinator (Former Employee), Milwaukee, WI – July 23, 2012
Pros: zero
Cons: management
The absolute worst management I have ever encountered.
HR does not care about you as an employee. They barely care about the upper crust (professors, researchers). Don't believe that they care about this so-called "mission" -- what a joke! If they want to get rid of you, they will figure out a way even if you think you are the best employee in the world. – more... Just turn and walk away . . . . – less

Productive place to work, but lots of job insecurity
Post Doctoral Research Associate (Current Employee), Milwaukee, WI – June 30, 2012
There are a number of groups with good funding, but many labs are Supervisor alone labs, with limited funding and lots of work load.
While applying for the advertised vacancies, the name and details of the lab is not given making it extremely difficult to make an informed choice.
In terms of Job security this is one of the worst places to work.

The worst employer of my life! Horrible human resources department.
Administration (Former Employee), Milwaukee – June 23, 2012
Cons: they play games with your life.
If you have any problematic situations out of your control while being an employee, do not expect any help from human resources. They are NOT on your side. They will always take the side of your supervisor and not consider anything you have to say. You had better keep your nose clean. Their most recent game is that they will try to indicate that you – more... are a bad employee in some ridiculous manner and then fire you. This is the truth. That way, they do not have to offer you any severance package. They will just cut you off at the knees. Beware of this employer. – less

MicheleK – July 17, 2012

I completely agree. They were the worst employer of my life as well. I had the worst manager for which I had ever worked, and HR would not do anything about it or listen to anything I had to say. When I finally put in my 1 month noticed, I was harassed on a daily basis by my manager. HR did nothing!

An inflexible behemoth
Educational Technology (Former Employee), Milwaukee, WI – May 8, 2012
Mostly good people, working for a slow moving conservative bureaucracy, not always with the interests of their primary customers in mind, and made worse by a tremendous disparity between departments and a few instances of very bad management.

Completely disagree. It may be a great hospital in the area, but the HR department and management is absolutely awful. It was the worst experience I have had.

Kelli – July 23, 2012

There is absolutely NO stability at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Horrible HR department. They love to come up with a scheme to get rid of you, and believe me, they will do it. It happened to me and THREE other friends of mine who worked there. Stay far, far away from this employer. Don't believe this reviewer.
