Good Place to Work if Compensation is Fair
Executive Assistant - Patient Care Administration (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 11, 2019
Good place to work, decent benefits, okay management. Problem is that they only help pay for medical/business management degrees. Most majors are not covered through their tuition remission.
Pros
Professional atmosphere, nice people
Cons
Compensation, tuition remission
Horrible working enviroment

Cons
horrible working schedule. no advancement with experience.
It is okay for starting.
LABORATORY TECHNICIAN (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 4, 2019
My main issue with the hospital was only the lab. It was more of a physical workout and work itself. All issues and blames are on the lab and there is nothing to do about it. Not even the Q.I.R. system can fix issues between phlebotomy/nurses and the laboratory. It felt like more work piled onto those in the laboratory as we took on duties of other departments. The pay was too low for a large recognized hospital such as Northwestern. There was plenty of favoritism and many employees that got their position through connection. On the other hand, it did make transferring departments easier but most availabilities in the hospital are only night shift.
Pros
Job culture, hiring within the hospital, bonuses every year
Cons
Too many issues between hospital staff, low pay
Great Place to work
PATIENT ACCESS SPECIALIST (Current Employee) – DeKalb, IL – December 31, 2018
I have enjoyed every minute of my employment with Northwestern over the past several years. I enjoyed my management, the advancements I can make, the training, the classes I can take to get ahead.
Excellent place for students to do mental health internship
Student Nurse (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 28, 2018
All the nurses and doctors on the mental health ward made themselves available to teach students about the act and science of mental health nursing. Overall, the hospital is an excellent teaching hospital.
Pros
Excellent location with variety of food vendors.
Cons
Parking is very expensive for students
Decent place to work
CMA (Former Employee) – St. Charles, IL – December 28, 2018
There have been many changes throughout the years, and I feel some things are improving. Change is always hard for everyone and there have been many. I do feel, there is too much pressure put on the physicians, which then falls onto supportive staff as well. Hours did not provide a good life/work balance and getting a lunch was a struggle, but I really enjoyed my years with the company and miss everyone. I was fortunate to have great physicians to work for, caring management and a good clinical team. The benefits are good and pay is reasonable, but management should be able to give higher pay increases if they feel an employee has earned it. I think things will continue to improve and grow.
Pros
Great Physicians
Cons
Trying to get a lunch break and work/life balance with hours
I enjoyed it very much
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (Former Employee) – Winfield, IL – December 26, 2018

Registered Nurse (Current Employee) – Lake Forest, IL – December 22, 2018
I worked in the ER for 3 years. Great place to work. Management very helpful and involved. Always listening to suggestions. Many opportunities for learning. Good team work. I think they have smart nurses and doctors. I’d stay if I didn’t move!

Workplace
Reparatory Therapist (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 20, 2018
A typical day at work is pretty simple. you'll receive your assignment, then get the report from the other therapist to see what's going on with the patients. I've learne at from this facility as far as nitric, heliox, rotoprone beds for ards patients. The work environment is great the people get along for the most part. I believe this job is pretty easy to adapt to just as long as you're willing to learn new things and being openminded.
Great place for care/ poor place for employment
Patient Service Rep (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 19, 2018
The clinical staff at NM is fantastic but the management is extremely poor. The compensation is not up to par being the caliber of hospital NM is. I would not recommend anyone to work for NM.

Staff scheduler for approximately (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 16, 2018
This is a great facility to work for. The staff is great and works well with each other. I was a preceptor to new RNs and had frequent charge and triage responsibilities. It is a great place to work. I participated in staff scheduling.
Pros

Cons

Not a fun job at all
Wait Staff Member (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 14, 2018
Everyone think because it’s the #1 Hospital in Chicago it’s a good place to work! But it’s not your over worked and under paid! I worked in food service in order for you to get full time there one of the employees who been there for 40 years would have to die... and that’s not happening. The manger is getting all the African Americans out and bringing all the Mexicans in. On top of running the kitchen into the dirt! The insurance is expensive if your part time it’s most of your check so basically your working to pay insurance. All the mangers gossip they tell all your business and some. And they don’t help they stand around and watch you struggle. They don’t tell the schedule in on missing days so that means you work harder for a 12$ pay..
Pros
Bonuses around thanksgiving
Cons
Short breaks short staff terrible mangers
productive workplace with learning opportunities
Registered Nurse, Medical Intensive Care Unit (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 9, 2018
Supportive workplace with plenty of opportunities to learn. A typical day at work consists of direct patient care, assessing patients, administering medications, and working with physicians to provide quality care to patients
