great place to learn and environment is unbeatable
Education/Behavior Consultant (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – September 19, 2018
I wished I still lived in Nashville. Best place I ever worked. Salary was low but culture and schedule and other aspects made up for it. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Pros
patients, co-workers
Cons
salary
Stifling and toxic work environment
Materials Management/Supervisor (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – September 17, 2018
The management staff ranges from Micromanagers to completely don't care. The work environment is so toxic, people are looking for ways to be offended. Most of the support staff has an attitude of "I am here to be paid, not to work." While there are many "programs" to improve "employee engagement" and "employee relations", there is no emphasis on employee "value".
Pros
The job itself is fun and rewarding
Cons
The work culture is toxic and sucks the life out of you.
Stressful job
Patient Account Representative/Collector (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – September 9, 2018
I enjoyed working with the public. However, if felt my devotion to my job was never appreciated. Often my position would be reclassified and a new hire would make as much as I was. The yearly raises were laughable and made no difference in my cost of living.
Very interesting atmosphere, job and people.
Receptionist/Admin & Office Assistant (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – September 8, 2018
I learned a lot. Was exposed to many various duties . As front desk person I communicated with many different people inside and outside of Vanderbilt. I had plenty of work to keep me busy, but as is normal, when technology becomes more improved, manual labor becomes less. It was an overall fantastic place!!
My most enjoyable part was dealing with people !

Academia

Typical academia environment. Lots of talk, little action, littler compensation. Continued reduction in benefits and compensation. More focused on business that employees.
Eh
Dietitian (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – August 17, 2018
The pay is not worth the hype of working here. Management is terrible. The best thing to do is work here a year to have the name on your resume, then move on to better things.
Pros
they give you a free turkey during the holidays
Cons
pay, management
A large organization with room for advancement.
Project Manager (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – August 16, 2018
The nature of this organization presents multiple opportunities for new and exciting projects. This job will provide you with the ability to work with cross-functional teams. The most enjoyable part of the job is the mission.
Administrative Assistants are Underpaid
Sr. Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – Nashville, IL – August 9, 2018
For the amount of responsibility a Sr. Administrative Assistant has, they should be paid more. The salary is an insult for the amount of work they do.
Academic, very PI focused
Professor, Pediatric Infectious Diseases (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – August 9, 2018
I came here to bring a professional drug discovery/development expertise and culture to the center I work in. In the end, my ideas were ignored, and I was marginalized to allow others to take on my role.
Pros
Interesting environment
Cons
Very focused on individual investigators
The office atmosphere is laid back, fun, we meet monthly for team gatherings to discuss work related issues
Health Data Coordinator (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – August 6, 2018
I love coming to work because my boss doesn't breathe down the employees necks and micromanage the employees. She is a boss that truly cares about her employees. The drawbacks of working in my dept. is that there is no room for advancement there, and the pay isn't great also. The pay should be at a fair market value in comparison to the surrounding hospitals but it's not unfortunately. The workplace environment is laid back and quiet. The hardest part of the job is meeting productivity quota.
Pros
Recognize Employees by having Employee luncheons
Cons
The pay isnt fair, The pay isn't at fair market value in comparison with surrounding hospitals, Productivity
Great place to work with benefits
