our workforce is our gratest asset FInance AP
FInancial Accounting (Former Employee), Business CEnter – May 18, 2013
Pros: you have the right to work in a healthy environment finance
Cons: witness mis treatment of staff
Management display derogatory comments , staff is stereotyped as uneducated overpaid . IF you are a on the list you are given extra work that you cannot ever finish. As management states "it"s like buying a car you call H.R tell them what color and style you want and they help them write you up and place you on a plan or your forced to resign. You are – more... given a long list of duties that do not match your job description. You are embarrassed in so called team meetings everyone is a witness that you cannot take time off or given too much work and being singled out. There are too many that have been forced to resign. Think twice about reporting misconduct to senior management cause there is retaliation and intimidation. – less

I wouldn't even recommend my worst enemy....
Accounting/Finance (Former Employee), Business Center – May 13, 2013
Pros: good benefits
Cons: horriable mgmt and director. vp is clueless of staff unhappiness
Although it may be a great place to work if you are in the medical field but if you are looking for an finance/accounting related position this place is horrible. Unless you like stress, highblood pressure and hostile working enviornment you would not survive. The Director is horriable to its employees and only looks down on them pitifully. Run you – more... over the bus in a heartbeat just to cover their own. everything is still done manually, piles of bills & accounting reports everywhere.

If you have children you can forget it - if you get sick then forget that as well. Sick and children are for weekends (if you have any time of it). If they tell you it's work until the job finishes great but don't expect to this to be a 8-5 job. It's not and they will write you up if you don't stay late everyday.

Management & Directors micromanage employees. They may act as your friend but in their office it's bad talking about all its employees. Call them into tell them how incompetent they are 3-5 times a day Most unprofessional management staff I have ever experienced. this is definitely not an open door policy. If you feel stressed and what to talk to them go for it...but they will just tell you that you complain and then you're the one in trouble.

Best advice - STAY AWAY!!! even if you are desparate. – less

Management displays derogatory comments staff is stereotyped you are given a long list of duties that Don,t match up to you job description. The way ,management puts it "It'$ like buying a car they call H.R. tell them what style and color and H.R.Will write you a plan for termination or forced resignation." You are embarrassed in so called group meetings and reprimanded for asking questions. You try to engage in you daily work only to be given more work to intimidate you from asking questions. Forget about reporting misconduct there is retaliation your forced to resign too many to count .

Horrible work environment
Nurse (Former Employee), Juvenile detention Center – March 14, 2013
Pros: great experience
Cons: horrible management that mistreats staff n patients
I worked in the juvenile detention center. The work itself was great and an awesome experience as a nurse. But the management was a nightmare. The managers are allowed to create a very hostile work environment. They are cruel to inmates n if your a caring n loving nurse it's a bad facility to work in. You have to work with nurses that are burned out – more... n have no sympathy for these patients n the hospital does absolutely nothing about it. – less

Fun place to work with good benefits and advancement
Receiving and Processing Clerk (Former Employee), 4502 medical dr San Antonio Texas 78229 – March 4, 2013
Fun place to work over all a lot to learn about. Good supervisors and then a few not so good, great co-workers. The hardest part of the job is always be on your toes, looking out for all possible mistakes and we are only human. The most enjoyable part when there's nothing else to do.

Great place to work, not too good for long term growth if you start from the bottom. Its better to come in with the experience for the pay.
Cardiac Sonographer (Current Employee), San Antonio, TX – February 28, 2013
Pros: good teachers, good food, lots of hours
Cons: low pay, lots of hours
Great place to work, not too good for long term growth if you start from the bottom. Its better to come in with the experience for the pay. This is a teaching Hospital so theres alot to learn and earn from the Docs and overtime. The starting pay is under market, at least in my profession.

Excellent medical treatment; horrible working environment for admin positions
Financial Accounting: accounts payable (Former Employee), Business Center – February 26, 2013
Pros: good medical benefits & free rx's
Cons: horrible mgmt. allowed to bully employees, hr allowing termination of all tenured employees
Very hostile working environment. This department has not been updated since the 80's. Everything is still done manually, piles of bills & accounting reports everywhere. No imaging system, software or other tools needed to do your job. management keeps promising it but it never occurs because its not patient care. Instead management writes you up for – more... being to slow, too old, not moving fast enough, and not meeting goals that no one can reach.

No time allowed off to use those wonderful medical benefits. Given 5 weeks vacation a year but 90% of us are not allowed to use. Accountants & salaried employees worked over 20 hours a week on a regular basis. Out of a team of 1/3rd have quit or been terminated in the last 3 months.

Management & Directors micromanage employees. Call them into tell them how incompetent they are 3-5 times a day. HR lets Directors fire people who have been there for 15 years without cause but mainly do to personal vendettas. Most unprofessional management staff I have ever experienced. Disappointed that HR just allows Directors to terminate employees without cause. – less

UHS
Registered Medical Assistant (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – January 30, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: short lunch
University Health System is an great place to work. The benefits are stellar. Though pay is a bit low; medical and prescription coverage is amazing. The people are great. Training can be a little challenging due to the fast pace, but it is hands on training that is invalueable. You work with students and residents since it is a medical school campus – more... as well as faculty doctors. When short staffed it can be trying, but exhilerating. Definitely wish I was still there. – less

Pros: dynamic learning enviroment, interesting patient population

The main teaching hospital in San Antonio is a classic. The patient population is varied with some trauma mixed in. Everyday is a new learning experience and you are running when you do it. Great place to learn and be challenged as a nurse.
