Vanderbilt University Employer Reviews

I generally do experiments independently, meet with my PI once a week and the whole lab once a week. Everyone knows about each other's projects and helps out when needed. My boss is great and listens to all concerns and helps to design experiments and guide research. Hardest part of the job is dealing with negative data; the most enjoyable part is going – more... to conferences and learning about the research of other labs. – less

LOVING MANAGEMENT TEAM
GREAT CO WORKERS
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
ALSO A SCHOOL
ON THE JOB TRAINING

The only thing I can say about working for Vanderbilt Medical Center is that it pays well and the benefits aren't the worst. Management is horrible and over paid for sitting on their bums who don't know how to care about their employees or get their hands dirty in time of need. There is no advancement opportunities! You're stuck where you're at when – more... hired....goes back to management not caring. – less

I Cashiered over 1000 students a day and it was always busy. I didn't learn much because I was a cashier. Management had so much miscommunication and was very lazy. This job is for an older crowd who will settle for anything for there is no advancement opportunity here. If you are a cashier now, you will be that 40 years from now if you choose to stay. – more... The worst thing is getting laid-off when the students aaren't in class; that's fall, winter, spring and the big one, summer break. All are unpaid time off too. It's an easy job but you will get stuck there if you let yourself – less

For the most part the staff is very professional and friendly. The policies, hiring practices and the ability to move to other departments are poor. There seems to be a lack of concern from management for the overall success and well being of their employees.

A typical day at work is picking up patients in wheelchairs, stretchers or beds and transport – more... them to testing, treatment areas or back to their rooms. I transport about 18 patients a day and walk about 8-10 miles a day.

I have learned to pace myself.
We have a new manager and I am not sure I trust him.
About half of my co-workers do a very good job. The other half seem to spend more time trying to get out of work than actually working.
Hardest part of the job is transporting patients to Medical Ctr. North that are in beds, going up and down ramps.
I enjoy talking to the patients and family. – less

I would check patients in and out , i would collect co-payments.

Coordinated team members transportation
Served as translator from English to Spanish and vice versa.
Assisted managers to keep tracking schedule, team records performance
Kept statistics of the teams games
Organized team cultural activities

the very best place to work, send children to school, meet new people daily. The best oppotunities

cool place cool people but the bureaucracy between the many different IT organizations is kind of cumbersome. you can definitely learn some cool tech there and get your hands on some industry leading implementations but the compensation compared to other large cities is quite glaring. i got a 30k raise when i left.

This company is a great place to work because they care about the professional and personal development of each employee. There's opportunity to grow and develop.

Vanderbilt's pay is among the lowest of other industries in the area. It's a great place to get a year or so worth of experience and move on.

Vanderbilt is stability and provides motivation to continue to achieve.

Its a great place to learn as a new graduate but the structure is incompatible with long-term goals for almost anyone. The culture is to expect turnover and replace with fresh graduates. Compensation is set in stone and does not consider personal value or even market value.

I have enjoyed my time working here and have had multiple opportunities for professional growth-

Got tired of working in blood all day. Enjoyed co-workers but have other ideas as a career for me, enjoyed the experience though

The benefits are great and the pay is alright. DO NOT work in TRAUMA 1 for a first CNA (carepartner) job!!!! It will be too much!! Trust me! I loved the work environment but was in the wrong department for my experience.

My experience at Vanderbilt had been the best of any company. They take care of their people and sustain the level of satisfaction for generations.

Great team of knowledgeable professionals who are eager to learn new tactics and skills to better present their work.

My current job an RN position; I am seeking employment as an Advance Practice Nurse.

This has been the best experience so far in my life after leaving graduate school. All the employees there are very nice and welcoming
