Vanderbilt University Employer Reviews

I was able to discover hidden marketing and project management skills. The work environment was very fast paced and high pressure.

AWESOME WORK ATOMOSPHERE AND PROMOTE LOTS OF LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Everyone wants everyone to succeed because success helps everyone.

Vanderbilt cares very much for its' employees. As an Animal Care Technician, I spend each day supporting the research industry. I have fantastic coworkers that, even on stressful days, make my job enjoyable. I have learned a great deal about communicating with other people efficiently, and helping them to communicate with me. The best part of my job – more... is that I have a very supportive manager. – less

I enjoy working at Vanderbilt Medical Center. I have learned many different dietary skills by working alongside dietitians.

I enjoy the culture/environment. Very employee focused. Great benefits.

Great Job. I never worked anywhere else that had better employees to work with.

never enough people working the mangers didnt care my co-workd when find when i had enough help everyone thinks its great to work there but not in the dishroom

I learned a lot from the job, such as communication and research skills.

A typical day at work for me is to ensure my team, of 20 staff members, perform their daily tasks and have inventory completed in a timely manner. I am in charge of timekeeping for all my staffs time and attendence.
I also am charged to help nursing management maintain their supply areas and run reports for usage in order for them to reduce inventory – more... to maintian their budgets.
Learning in my job occurs constantly and on daily basis. I have learned the best practices for inventory management within a healthcare facility, how to lead projects to completion, and that communication in order for any facility to thrive.
My management team is great to work for and is willing to stand behind me in any decision I have or need to make. My manager is a very laid back, fair individual. My director, is a very knowledgeable and carrying, but also challenged us to think outside the box.
The most enjoyable part of my job was helping others grow, helping nursing find difficult items, and most of all helping the patients. – less

Expected level of professionalism at all levels. Even with budget cuts and other constraints, you feel as if your work is for the greater good. Pay scale is a little bit lower than local competitors, but the benefits make up for it...and the overall environment is worth it all.

Seeing patients from several states and from all surgical services, coming to surgery with an array of comorbidities, who needed to be approved for anesthesia.

I was a new nurse. Went through a OR intern program. I like working at Vanderbuilt, but do not remember managment. Co-worker were friendly ,helpful and good workers. Hardest was the big case, lots of instruments. Most enjoyable was that Vanderbuilt had great doctors and the cases were very interesting to scub.

I absolutely enjoy working at Vanderbilt University. I prepare the chemicals, instruments, and materials necessary for three lab classes to function well. You're treated as an equal, even when working with a superior, and your opinions are always taken into consideration when decisions are being made. The people I work with are a tight-knit community – more... who work well together. It's never a chore to come to work. The most difficult part of my job would be balancing so many labs at once, but even that isn't too bad. I love the people I work with and the stories and advice they're always willing to share; I love that I get to come to work and do what I love; and I love that I'm able to make a difference in students' educational careers. – less

Great company to work for. Excellent benefits and salary. Staf is always willingto help.

I made appointments and assist Dr and was hands on with patient care

Worked on an Orthopedic post op floor for 3 years with trauma, joint replacement, spine, cancer patients. No 2 days were ever the same.
There was quite a bit of turn over with the staff. There were people from all over Middle TN and Southern KY area as staff and patients. Some of the patient's stories were heartbreaking. The learning opportunities were – more... endless. From there to the main Radiology Dept.
with portables, pediatrics, oncology, ICU, ER, and OR with more learning. Then on to the Orthopedic Clinic where patients came in prior to and post op. Most interesting to see patients progress over time and some returning for multiple surgeries for new or ongoing problems. The hardest part of this was constant change which was also one of the best parts. Loved the learning. Long shifts and commute took a toll. Management changed frequently most were great some not so much – less

Over worked and under paid. Management doesn't care about anything except making themselves look good.

Vanderbilt is a nice place. Very exquisite compared to the jobs i have had prior. I love my co workers and my managers, We worked very hard and in a very fast pace work environment.

Productive Patient Care, Loved working with my patients and their families
