Most hardest part of the job
Manager, Department of Food & Nutrition (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – May 23, 2013
Pros: interacting with other professionals in different areas
Cons: very short breaks, staff call-ins
Staff constant call offs daily, which makes management have to jump in to gets things completed until help came. Director not wanting managers to ruffle the feathers of the union, to make our department look bad. With constant write-ups. Director more on staff side of things than management.

Great Team! Have great pot-luck & breakfast get togethers.
Health Consultant (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – April 3, 2013
Pros: although in a call center, there is flexibility with lunch hours and time-off.
Cons: none that i can think of.
I work in a Call Center, have a great team environment. Daily communication via Email regarding updates on classes we offer or studies that are held at Northwestern Memorial. Have great management that keeps us informed of changes throughout Northwestern Memorial departments. I have excellent communication with my co-workers, always informing each other – more... of different events that may be happening at the hospital. Having that information for patients when they call. The most enjoyable part of my job are my co-workers. They add humor and keep things in perspective. – less

Nice place, nice people to be around with.
IS Help Desk Support (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – March 27, 2013
Pros: co-worker bring food, nice atmosphere
Cons: short break, angry customers, doctors who don't know anything about computers will frustrate you
I worked at the Help Desk, on average, out of the 10 hours I worked per day, according to my Agent Phone I had 5 hours of not being on the phone. Within those free time, you are allowed to use your PC or electronics. So they are pretty flexible.

Not a great place to work.
Registered Respiratory Therapist (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – March 25, 2013
Pros: great patients.
Cons: working at northwestern memorial hospital, expecting to be treated like a part of the care team for the patients.
A typical day of work is everyone trying to work out of their scopes trying to run to these residents to seem the brightest. It is a lot of back stabbing people who hate to see anyone excel. Management is not so supportive to help you through anything because the hospital is going through so many changes EVERYONE has potential to throw one under the – more... bus to preserve their own jobs. The only people really happy here are the Residents because they can do what ever they like including come up with a patient care plan to possible kill a patient but ultimately bring in money for the hospital which is the hospitals goal. Their slogan should be money first instead of patient first. – less

X-Ray Tech job
Staff Radiographer (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – March 1, 2013
Pros: national recognition
Cons: short staff
The job is ok for the most part. With every job there are pros and cons.
A typical day at work is not cut and dry assignment, sometimes you are staff to areas of high volume.
What I learned is that you will work, teach students, and you must learn the Northwestern Way on how to do business.
The co-workers are great for the most part, as with any "team" – more... setting, you have your bad/lazy workers and do-gooders
The hardest part about the job is the mental demand they need you to have, this isn't a play area, you must be on your Ps and Qs at all times
The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that you are helping someone get better. – less

Friendly staff
Medical Assistant/Phlebotomy (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – January 8, 2013
Pros: friendly staff, excellent pay
Cons: expensive employee parking, does not value you as a person, no breaks, and management does not manage
I loved working at Northwestern and my job there.The staff there always help you if you have questions or just need help.They have excellent pay but, they make you work for it. If you like taking a lunch or a break, this is not the place for you. You should be a new grad.
