Pros

1. Associated with the University and the UW School of Medicine and Public Health 2. They are historically rated one of the best hospitals in Wisconsin

Cons

While the hospital is rated well, their clinics - especially primary care clinics - are managed quite poorly. There is a clear hierarchy amongst employees. At a recent meeting the question was posed, "who is thinking of leaving their job at UW Health?" More than 80% of the employees (including doctors) raised their hands. Consider working at (or getting your care from) Wildwood Family Medicine, GHC or even Dean.

Pros

Great benefits. Fair pay. Honest policies.

Cons

This company has its cliques and you will feel isolated if you don't blend in as expected. If you find yourself not quite fitting in, it is best to find another company to work for.
