Benefits package is great with tuition reimbursement and well-being fund. Great place to work and grow. Work is a little repetitive but a great team makes the days so much more enjoyable.

Great coworkers

Patient Access Specialist (Former Employee) - Illinois - January 16, 2023

It seems like they advance. The people that are terrible and work the people that truly care into the ground. It’s so disappointing when you work so hard and you can’t move forward.

Great teamwork

RN (Current Employee) - Downtown - January 5, 2023

Always feel apart of the team, while management can be a little rough at times. They promote growth from within, at the end of the day it’s about who you know.

Great team!

Client office Phlebotomist (Current Employee) - Algonquin, IL - December 29, 2022

Management encourages feedback and actually listens to what we say. They take action to improve processes rather quickly. There is a set formula for vacation so it's pretty easy to follow and get approval for paid time off.

Pros

Free lunch, above average compensation with annual bonuses, 3.5 weeks pto accrued within 1 year

Cons

None

A lot of hype for nothing

Medical Laboratory Scientist (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - December 29, 2022

Northwestern is really hyped up and doesn’t deliver. Lab scene is toxic although I guess not as toxic as other places. This depends heavily on which department you’re in, but across the board they’re still all toxic to varying degrees. Management will do nothing about any issue you bring to them and you quickly find out who really runs the show. Best to keep your head down and try to fly under the radar as much as possible. Pay is kind of low and benefits are very expensive. No sick days and no observed holidays. There’s job security but rarely room for advancement. Northwestern themselves acknowledges how they can’t keep people more than a year but don’t do anything to solve the root issues. Overall, they’re not competitive in anything they offer.

Pros

Name looks good on resume

Cons

Benefits are expensive, no observed holidays, no sick time, toxic and petty environment

Unless they are paying $100/hour do NOT work here.

Medical Lab Technician (Former Employee) - Palos Heights, IL - December 21, 2022

Horrible work environmnet. You can't ask anyone for help even your manager. You'll only get attiude and told to "figure it out yourself." I was full time and I wanted to go part time but they wouldn't let me. So they would rather loose an employee and be more short staff than to just let me go to .6 I wanted. So I left.Forced to work weekends and work overtime. You will get burnt out. I got a job far away from the hospital lab setting because this place left a bad taste in my mouth.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

-Rude coworkers and managers, long shifts, forced to work weekends

Fun work place

Security Officer (Current Employee) - Illinois - December 20, 2022

The work is easy. Management does not have your best interest in mind and is always trying to please other departments instead of putting the needs of the security officers first to make sure we are safe and able to properly care for the safety of others.
