Vantaggi
Great benefits - days off are called PTO (paid time off) and can be used either for sick time or vacation time. Our supervisors were generally very flexible when we asked to take time off. The ability to buy paid time off each year, the ability to carry over unused PTO and the low cost of medical/dental/vision benefits have me (kind of!) wishing I still worked at UPMC. Their benefits are seriously good. Did I mention the ability to earn PTO for simply donating blood to the Pittsburgh Blood Bank, on UPMC's time?
Svantaggi
Lack of communication from superiors; Some employees are hired in plum positions based on promises or personalities, not experience, then prove disappointing; Questionable decisions such as the dismantling of the corporate communications Web team (are they regressing instead of progressing technologically?) that kept the Web site current and growing, at the same time the site was experiencing great demand from internal departments wishing to publicize the medical services offered; The president's right-hand woman has lots of influence but tends to base decisions on her like or dislike of employees, not evidence that the presented idea will or will not work or whether the proposed idea will benefit UPMC as a whole.
