University of Miami Employer Reviews

UM is certainly full of bureaucracy however if you work together with your departments it can become a very strong and cohesive mechanism for high academic achievement.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help people. The management and co-workers are what make this place a great place to be.

University of Miami is a good place to learn and work, the environment and professionalism is excellent, the problem now is the finances that's why around 600 employees were laid off last week

New Management is less than desirable.
Personally do NOT recommend this place.

I've been fortunate to work in a great dept and wonderful coworkers with lots of flexibility. Unfortunately the medical campus at large is deeply in the red, and they are in the midst of massive layoffs. It's sad to know that lots of people working today might not be there tomorrow.

Not room for much advancement. But overall it is a good working environment.

My experience involved a lot of technical freedom that allowed me to implement projects that would benefit end-users but that is not the case in most departments. Compensation is a problem when compared to most industry-standards in the IT field. Lots of checks in place to limit salary increases even in the most deserving of circumstances. Picked up – more...  all my technical skills but it does drag behind current technology practices usually as a result of budgetary constraints. – less

Although this was a volunteer job it was very informative and enjoyable job. The day would consist of pulling and filing medical charts, and greeting young patients. Co-workers and management are very helpful and have helped me expand my knowledge in the clerical and customer service fields.

A typical day was to prepare the lab for the incoming students and lab assistants. This developed my interest in clinical medicine, and allowed me to engage in research as well as defining some of the curriculum for the Microbiology Department.

Educational Institution with good employer/employee ethics.
