Very busy place to work. Can be stressful

Stressful and not helpful
Clinical Research Coordinator (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - February 3, 2023
DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL, they say that they are there for you and if you ever have question let them know but all empty talk. Parking is limited and expensive, people are overworked and supervisor not helpful.

Other temps were great
Administrative Assistant (Temp) (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - January 4, 2023
The permanent workers treat the temps like they are below them . They overwork you for barely over minimum wage then fire you without notice so you won’t become permanent and throw you into another department

It was ok for short term contract
Practice Coordinator (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - December 12, 2022
It was busy all the time, and I never ran out of work to do. Decent pay. 40 hours per week. I would say working there is good if you want something short-term. The reason because you don’t know if you have a chance to become permanent. I heard that one temp person was let go even though she had only been there for a week. Overall, the office environment may seem nice but there are definitely some people who will give you the cold shoulder.

Horrible
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - December 8, 2022
They’re not willing to work with you. There’s no room for growth or mistakes there even in training. They do not care about their employees. Just ratings.

Good for getting job experience.
Sterile Processing Technician 3 (Former Employee) - 505 parnassus ave sf ca - December 8, 2022
As being previous employee, I would say that its fair in overall. The only, problem that I experienced in my department was the management was not fair on their job decision for the workers. However, in part of the workers, it's fun working with different culture.
Pros
A lot of overtime available and able to learn a lot of work experience.
Cons
The only problem was short breaks only.

What is the best part of working at the company? People are dedicated and hardworking, committed to the cause What is the most stressful part about working at the company? There is a mentality to provide extraordinary care, without extraordinary funding, which leads inevitably to burnout and high turnover

No job succession
Patient Financial Navigator (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - November 10, 2022
Overall great place to start your career in the healthcare field however, growth in your roles are very limit if any. The company admitted stated they struggle with employee succession and often recruit out to fill roles.

Jobs at UCSF Medical Center
Lost all energy, uniqueness, and support
Staff RN II (Current Employee) - Oakland, CA - October 14, 2022
Children's Hospital Oakland used to be a place I was proud of, felt loyal to, and where I had a sense of purpose. After being consumed by UCSF the entire culture has changed. There are no resources to actually be successful at your job. It is an embarrassment, other than the fact that we have top notch healthcare providers. Hands down yes to taking your kid there; but don't work there if you want a positive, thriving culture where you feel supported and eager to go to work.
Pros
Expert care, short commute, paid well
Cons
No resources, little parity with San FRancisco or other hospitals, don't feel supported.

Toxic, micromanaging and dead end IT job
IT Technician (Current Employee) - San Francisco, CA - August 9, 2022
I have been with the company for some years now and can safely say how toxic management are. We are just a number to them. Micromanaging to the max, no opportunities for growth, and management plays favorites.

Prioritizes efficiency and excellence
Research Assistant (Former Employee) - San Francisco Bay Area, CA - August 7, 2022
Doctors were great, management not so much. Good learning experience for those who want to go into the field, but expect a lot of grunt work. Postdocs were hit or miss

UCSF cares about their nurses
RN (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - June 28, 2022
UCSF treats their nurses like gold. they value their opinion and ensure that they're happy with their jobs. if you are unhappy about it, speak with management. they will have your backs!

Don't believe the hype
Principle PET/CT Technologist (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - June 25, 2022
There too many policies and procedures that no one seems to really understand or able to explain. This is a huge organization with more red tape than you could possibly imagine. Most areas have farmed out so much of work it makes it very difficult to get a response to simply questions. What is suppose to take 3-5 days for an answer usually takes 3-4 weeks. The work from home policies which began at the beginning of the pandemic have only created more disconnect between management and front line staff. Many areas are critically short staffed, yet management either can't or won't create new, more creative ways of recruiting. They simply ask you to do more with less. I feel that UCSF talks about diversity, inclusion and other policies but in reality they are bullies and mistreat the front line staff to the point that recruitment is almost impossible except for upper level management. This bullying even extends to how patients treat the same. UCSF consistently claims to be in the top ten hospitals. I don't think employees feel it is a top ten employer.

Great place
Program Coordinator (Current Employee) - California - June 6, 2022
I think this place works well, management depends on he dept so you’ll have different experiences on each. Management in previous departments don’t know what they’re doing.
