Great place to work, with great benefits and job security
Account Assistant IV (Former Employee), New Haven, CT – January 19, 2013
Pros: great benefits, comfortable environment
Cons: having to know the logic of all jobs from the front end, so that we as patient service reps could correct the errors on the back end
Upon arrival to work in the mornings, there is a feeling of eagerness to get to work and begin the workday. Seeing that you work independently there is a sense of individual accountability for your work performance. There is also an underlying awareness of teamwork to provide the best customer service experience. Management not only makes themselves – more... available at all times but also has great knowlege of the job that you do, so much so that they jump in and assist during staff shortge and high work volume moments. Employee's strengths are recognized by co-workers as well as mangement and utilized. The capability to multi-task is a must and expected. I enjoyed providing a quality experience to our customers/patients and representing my company and myself meticulously well – less

Productive and fast paced environment
Security Guard (Current Employee), New Haven, CT – November 4, 2012
Pros: great benfits
As the security officer, my responsibilities included CCTV monitoring, making presence known to deter any suspicious patron/behavior, and/or patrolling buildings and street areas. I have learned so far how to adapt with university environment and always customer service. My supervisors also rely on my ability to communicate well with irate employees/guests, – more... arrive to work on time in professional uniform, and to be alert at all times. Co-workers are amazing hard working people who come together like family to make the hard times easier and the good times even better. The hardest part of the job is being outside during bad weather and the most enjoyable part of the job is communicating with people who come from all over the world and being able to full-fill their needs when needed. – less

Yale New Haven Hospital
Operations Supervisor (Former Employee), New Haven, CT – October 19, 2012
Pros: large institution with plenty of movement available.
Cons: hypocritical environment, the upper management does not care about its people even through they say they do.
Hypocritical environment. Of course they tout YNHH as the employer of choice but the truth is the work environment is not that great and the benefits are on average less than I have received at other employers.

Productive and challenging work place
Post-doctoral associate (Former Employee), New Haven, CT – October 11, 2012
The work at Yale is a very motivating, intellectually challenging experience which involves interaction with colleagues and collaborators on a daily basis. The most enjoyable part of the work is the flexibility of the research and the challenge of understanding and solving the issues which rise from current understanding of our field.

Great job and place to work.
Test Proctor (Current Employee), New Haven, CT – October 10, 2012
My job in general is a great position to have. I check in individuals who are there for testing, seat them accordingly, hand out the test booklwts and answer key, read the instructions and allow for breaks if necessary. Most importantly, I make sure everyones eyes stay on their own paper. My co workers are all very nice and helpful. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job is that I am allowed to bring homework to work on while the individuals are testing. – less

Screening and recruiting participants for various studies. Time management, awareness and precision detail. Overseeing daily activities of out patient participants, grant writing, formulate new studies as well as implementation. All of our co-workers were peer interviewed and were selected based on fit, very democratic hiring process, as well as harmonious – more... office setting. Retention of participants in order to keep the studies moving forward was one of the most difficult aspects of this position. The one-to-one interaction with patients and group activities were among the enjoyable pieces of this job. – less
