Friendly work enviroment. Looked forward to work every day
Secretary and Admin Assist to Chief of Orthopedics (Former Employee), Chicago, IL –
Pros: holiday parties, bonuses
Cons: none that i can think of
Lots of phone work with patients, other physicians, and allied health personel, both in the hospital and out. I learned many of my administrative skills there. Management was approachable and open to new ideas. Co-workers were like family members. The hardest part of the job was probably the patient mix (child cancer patients). The most enjoyable part – more...  was just being there and enjoying the atmosphere of cooperation and friendship along with getting the job done. – less

Almost Perfect
Facilities Project Assistant (Former Employee), 401 N. Michigan Ave. –
Pros: university setting, excellent wages, friendly work environment
Cons: virtually none
The U of C was a perfect fit for me, and my only complaint would be the fact that my office position was technically a union position, which is why I got laid off in a sort of aftershock of the 2008 economic crash.

Proficient and highly successful in providing Universal hands on experience in education, research and social care worldwide..
Accountant II (Former Employee), Chicago, Il –
The advantage I had in becoming an employee at The University of Chicago will always be an unmovable and appreciated experience. I was astonished by the fact that I was hired for (my past position of) Accountant II, not just because of my academic and experience skills, but also because I was a resident in the Hyde Park/Chicago community.
I worked in – more...  the Comptroller’s Office for The Capital Funds, Property Management and Equipment Department. My supervisor taught me so many new and transferable skills. The training rendered by the University to assist employees in gaining or enhancing skills is endless. My expansion of knowledge in fund accounting has grown. I assisted my supervisor with financial reporting that consist of (but not limited to) a $3,000,000,000 annual budget. Efficient, effective time management accounting was a must; the staff consists of 5 people, 2 full-time and 3 part time employees. I hope anyone who has interest in the University of Chicago, for anything from education to employment, research and/or community service takes advantage of what they have to offer. It will be well-rounded and hopefully one of the best and most memorable events in their life. – less

I've been trying to work for this hospital for the past five years! It's very hard for me to get in, I have the experience. But can't seem to get a call, I have a polished resume, who do I have to know in order to get in? I love the hospital and the atmosphere, can anyone give me any pointers...etc.....
