UCSD Medical Center Employer Reviews

I worked at the university thru their Temporary Employment Services and was put in a few different departments. Every department had blow out fights between middle managements, yelling and demeaning of employees, cancer patients and each other. I heard management complaining about under performers in front of staff and very bad gossip. Sabatoging and – more...  back stabbing galore. The people who have passed their 6 months do not get fired or disciplined because they are union. Unless it's a complete gross misconduct situation, the university supports a negative, catty, backbiting unprofessional enviroment. The training was lacking and tireless.
I'm glad I didn't get stuck there, it's obvious the people that work there are miserable and unable to do anything about it.. I know of people who unsuccessfully tried to transfer to different positions or departments but once you get a bad name, you are STUCK...They black list you. – less

it was not the hardest work but it didnt stop it kept me satisfied with the pay the people were great the employees were great the job was al around good we deep cleaned dorm rooms bathrooms hallways small apartments from top to bottom.

Lack of advancement from within. Hiring of outside staff for management positions leads to continual turnover at administration/mid management level. Average manager stays 18 months so in a continual flux. Magnet status was obtained but not indicative of a magnet environment because transformational leadership is non existent.

Overall I have had a great experience volunteering for them. I have learned a lot, and they have been very helpful.

After 25 / 26 years, advancement was practically non-existant & I felt that the Regents and president had no concern for the research staff that made the university what is.
