Thomas Jefferson University Employer Reviews

Great place to grow and learn. Management treats everyone with respect and kindness. Busy office, if you work well with others and love helping others this is a great place to work.

Please refer to CHOP and Drexel because this was the same job. As I stated previously, we are a research group who relocated each time the PI started a new study.

Very best care and technology, depending on the floor you are assigned as an extern, the patient population can be challenging. Getting to see how your patients progress or decline on the heart floors can be either rewarding or saddening. Overall great experience and the nurses are more than willing to teach you the basics and the hard/real life lessons – more... in nursing. Definitely recommend becoming an extern even if the hours do not seem like enough at first. It is all about learning in a different environment, adapting and eventually thriving. It would not be worth it, if it was easy. – less

Jefferson Hospital has allowed me to grow and mature as an individual. It has enhanced my customer service skills and made me more aware of how to assist others in difficult situations.

Challenging work environment with good people.Went through a recent change to combine HR units between the hospital and university, but for the better.

Great environment to learn. Fast -paced, but very rewarding

A day at work here was always busy. I learned how to clean hospital rooms the proper way. The manegement was ok a little unfair to me. The co workers were nice and funny. the hardest part of the job was trying to find something to when your work load was finshed. the most enjoyable part was working downtown and meeting new people.

Hiring Doctors and Faculty very rewarding. Management changes underway with new leadership.

I feel supported by the people I work with on a day to day basis. Good variety of patients. Can be tough at times due to patient compliance issues.

A nice academic environment. Faculty were helpful and willing to collaborate. Facilities were adequate.

Liver research in a molecular biology lab. I also did all ordering, inventories, databases, breeding records for the lab.

Jefferson has the potential to be much greater than what it is.

I worked briefly at Jefferson - about 6 months. After the honeymoon period, I realized that it wasn't a supportive environment and found it very frustrating with the lack straight answers from the high-ups to run my program. After too many inaccuracies being delivered by senior admin, unfair increased workload and their lack of proper compensation, – more... I realized that this wasn't the place for me. I LOVE the students and most of the admin support staff there - bright, helpful and always willing to support. However, management kept putting money and the 'ol' boys' mentality ahead of quality and thorough program development. As a program director, I couldn't stand by it. Also, I find the school is very poor in their treatment of senior administration from under-represented groups in STEM (well, the few that are present) - the school's culture will let you know that you're not wanted or you'll be put on display as a 'token' but prevented from making real decisions. I learned a great deal with the program's development and made great contacts but, in the end, the depressing environment and lack of support for my program took a toll on my health. Higher education has issues with diversity in general. However, I would recommend seeking another institution that is more progressive with mentoring and support for diverse faculty and senior admin. For 'folks', this place is a stone not worth stepping on... – less

A typical work day would start with coffee and a quick conversation with my work mate. Rally to get my medical assistants motivated to begin working. Treat patients all day every day with various kinds of fun times and stressful times. I have learned how special I am and how well I relate and help my patients. Unfortunately, there is no room to grow, – more... I have been doing wound care for a long time and need to grow as a mid-level provider – less

i learned how to muti-task different assignments and complete them in the time given to me.

Thomas Jefferson Hospital is a fantastic place to learn and grow with a company.

I really enjoyed working at Jefferson for my internship. I learned how to both pull and file, file work. I shadowed other healthcare professionals. It was a great learning experience

very hot and stinky work environment with no windows.I learned alot about animals and how to maintain them.Management is not professional at all they tell all of your personal business to all of your fellow employees and will not hesitate to lie on you.I love my co-workers of course you have some you butt heads with but all in all we were a family.The – more... hardest thing about that job is management hiring family members and wanting you to cater to them and do their work.The most enjoyable part of that job is getting off of work. – less

The department is on a high stress level everyday.
Management will not hear or take complaints or actions to fix problems.
