High commitment to patient
Medical Technologist (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – July 9, 2018
Vumc presents an opportunity for the right candidate to work in an academic medical center. Fast paced atmosphere and challenging work load. Pay is lower than most institutions in Nashville at present time. Major renovations in progress and will dramatically improve clinic laboratory testing in near future.
Pros
Dedicated staff, high level of quality care
Cons
Salary and career advancement
A wonderful place to work.
Patient Care Attendant (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – July 15, 2018
My days were great. I learned how to deal with the patient and their family. The management was good. There was no problem with culture. The hardest part for me is when the patients are suffering and i can't help them to make them feel better. The most enjoyable part is when you do your job and get along with everybody.

Fast paced, high productivity call center
Access Specialist I (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – July 9, 2018
I worked for two departments within the Vanderbilt call center (Orthopedics and Cardiology). Both were high volume call centers. Each had great teams and were very productive.
Stable and enjoyable company to work for. Many have worked here for years.
Systems Analyst/Programmer I, II, III (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – July 1, 2018
Stable and enjoyable company to work for. Many have worked here for years. The company has recently reduced office space and I have gone from an office to a small desk in an open area with people packed into a large room.
Pros
Stable environment, one is not worried about layoffs
Cons
Perhaps too stable, little advancement opportunity.
it's fine
Business Process Manager (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – June 29, 2018
working for large not-for-profit companies is challenging. Like with any job, you could love it or hate it based on the team you are on/in. The medical center is focused on patients and as a result the research side suffers. Also, faculty run the show so don't be surprised if they "get away" with things staff would be written up for.
Love working at VUMC
Registered Nurse (RN) (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – June 27, 2018
VUMC has taught me so much. I work on a critical care floor. My patients are very sick. I learn some new/useful every single shift. I credit VUMC for advancing my career and I'm very fortunate to work here.
Great place
Administrative Supervisor (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – June 26, 2018
Great place to work. General consensus regarding management is that they're easy and open to speak with. They are very understanding - provided communication is open and proactive.
Vanderbilt workplace
Medical Coding Specialist II (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – June 25, 2018
I enjoyed many opportunities I have had at Vanderbilt, and I would go back and work because they are ethical and moral. Humans resources is great. Vanderbilt has unlimited opportunities however, some department managers fail to know about these great opportunities to stay polished and to prepare yourself for growth and better promotions, that tend to not allow certain employees attend such functions which are available to every employee with management approval, for example black belt opportunities, coding classes.
Pros
Great work environment
Cons
Salary is low for experience.
Staff and co-workers are pleasant
Registered Nurse (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – June 15, 2018
Managers sometimes forget that the driving force behind the hospital are the Nurses and ancillary staff! They seem to make arbitrary decisions without taking the employee's account of a situation in mind.
Pros
Nice Coworkers
Cons
Poor training in Cardiac Cath Procedure Area
sucks
Cardiac Device Technologist (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – June 14, 2018

Pros
good benefits
Cons
long trip into work/ bad training/ pay to park
great place to work
Hospital Registration Specialist (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – June 10, 2018
working at Vanderbilt was a wonderful experience. The only thing that made me leave was the pay and management did not seem appreciative. It seemed like they liked the fact of having a person there rather than also appreciating the employees in my department. I was also not getting paid enough In my department. I had to do what was best for me and my family so I had to leave. Other than those things I really enjoyed my years spent with Vanderbilt.
Pros
The patients and making them feel better, The skills that i learned.
Cons
The nonappreciation of my mangers and thoughtfullness and the pay.
so stress

Medical Receptionist/Medical Assistant (Former Employee) – Nashville, TN – May 15, 2018

Fun place to learn and grow
Registered Nurse (RN)/ MICU (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – May 11, 2018
Vanderbilt is always provide the opportunity for its employees to learn and grow. The opportunity to work as a team including patients doctors and nurses. Everyone is included in the healthcare of the patients is always a pleasure to see your patient heal.
Terrible supervisors, understaffed, overworked.
Radiologic Technologist (Former Employee) – Diagnostic Radiology – May 8, 2018
Look elsewhere. Cannot maintain staffing. Is clueless as to how to run the dept..Low morale and stressful work enviroment. No faith in management or future improvements. Incompetent supervisors not held accountable for anything.
Pros
Pay is ok. Benefits are ok.
Cons
Everything alse.
Silos!
Senior System Administrator (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – May 6, 2018
Everything is siloed. Nothing can be done quickly because it all depends on some other group to get things done. Managers tend to be pretty good and understanding but don't expect to accomplish much quickly.
Nice place to work
Administrative Operations, Finance (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – May 3, 2018
People are Vanderbilt are good to work with. I enjoyed my time at Vanderbilt and all of the relationships I made from top to bottom. I do feel that there needs to be more transparency fro leadership at times.
