Because of the pandemic I was told that there'd probably be furloughs and because of the hiring freeze they can't hire me. However they continue to hire Temps and I have workers here for a year now it was supposed to be a 6month contract to hire. Ucsf does great medicine and are cutting edge in a lot of areas but there's tons of mismanagement and poor organization. You do start to feel pretty expendable and just another cog.

Pension prospects are good it being a State entity, but it is such a cloudy and low-motivating environment of low accountability and complacent staff, and low morale entangled with blurred lines between job description v. actual over-inflated expectation. Mixed with poor UC policy adherence by middle management (blanketed by dismissive leadership), the promise of growth and prosperity are low if you are a results driven productive person. There is great staff diversity, laden with GREAT inequality and divide, and it's overwhelmingly apparent. If you can turn off your brain, go with the flow, cover your ears and mouth, you may make it beyond the 5 year vesting period. From there, lower your expectations and try to coast along. With 20 years vested comes full medical benefits as the light at the end of the tunnel.

private:universityofcaliforniasanfrancisco https://www.indeed.com/cmp/university-of-california---san-francisco/reviews Aug 4th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open University of California - San Francisco Sr. Recruiter San Francisco, CA USA Recruiters stay away! Let me start by saying that UCSF as a whole, is a great organization. I would have loved to work there long term, just not for the "Manager of Talent Acquisition". The Talent Acquisition team on the Campus side, is your classic Mean Girls scenario. I was told, by the manager herself, that she will only hire contract employees. The reasoning behind it is that the manager and her little minions only care about one thing, making the manager happy. If you don't care about that, or at least outwardly show/express that, then you aren't a "good fit" for the team. It's sad, but unfortunately true. Here's the red flag to look out for, count how many times they say her name during your interview. 3-5 times is acceptable if you're talking about her, they'll bring her up with every question you ask because no on is allowed to think for themselves, it has to be approved and signed off by her, including calling in sick. To be successful on this team, you better be ready to be a yes-person. I was for the first 9 months of my contract. During the last 3 months, I had the second highest req load, took on multiple projects, and was filling in, full time, for another employee that was out on medical leave. I was ASKED to do scheduling for another recruiter so that she can focus on Sourcing (even though sourcing is my literal role). I said I didn't have the bandwidth, unless it was for sourcing. I was then TOLD to do scheduling. I refused again using data. Side Note: I was also going through a personal issue that I mentioned to the leadership team, and after refusing the second time with data, expressing that I couldn't work overtime (because I wasn't getting paid to do it, it was expected, but you wouldn't get approved for it) I was utterly disappointed. When it comes to the manager, she's excellent with strategy and seeing the big picture. Her execution, communication, and people management are poor at best. Recruiters are a different breed. We're like sales people except we're honest. We have pure, genuine hearts. We see the good in people. We love to help others. We speak with empathy and understanding. We have lots of emotions and can be rebellious, but it's because we typically care more than everyone else. We can connect with people instantly. We can smile during rough times and see the silver lining. I see none of these qualities in the manager. The job itself, is NOT recruiting. The job title and function is very misleading. At the end of the day, you are taught to preach process to your hiring managers, not develop relationships. The team talks about great concepts: empathy, professional development, transparency, communication, leadership, lean methodology. What's ironic is none of those concept exist on the team. The process alone violates Lean Methodology with Over-Processing among other things. Empathy? Forget about it. My son had a fever at school, I left to pick him up. I told one of the supervisors. Big mistake. I got in trouble because I didn't wait for Jessica to be available to ask to go take care of my sick child in an elementary school 40 minutes away without traffic. You better be at your desk for at minimum of 9 hours, working through lunch, when you get home that night, and working on the weekends, oh and don't forget, DO NOT put in any overtime on your time sheet. Want to take vacation? There's a document for how to request time off properly. Not feeling well? Yeah, there's a process for that too. It's not enough to just email the team, you have to figure out your own coverage then get it approved by the manager. Have the flu? As long as you feel okay and don't think you're contagious, just come to the office (right around the time COVID was becoming a thing too!). If not, just take a sick day. You can't work from home unless you're done with the probationary period of 6 months, if you get your one, singular, remote day, you can move it to a different day if you're not feeling well, but it better not be a Tuesday or Thursday, those days are reserved endless meetings talking about everything under the sun that could ideally just be an email. The Campus Talent Acquisition team is run with processes in place that were established because of trust issues. Now that the team is remote, the micromanager experience has been magnified, except now it doesn't come from the manager, it goes through her supervisors. I feel bad for them really, they can't think for themselves, can't make any decisions for themselves, have to be the bad guy to the employees. It's not an ideal situation and I really valued those two. Lastly, during my last month there, I requested an exit interview on three separate occasions. All three requests were ignored, never responded to. I asked to speak with our Director, who I was on a first name basis with. I asked to speak with our HRBP. I asked to speak to Labor Relations. There is clear evidence of favoritism, discrimination, and bias at UCSF CAMPUS Talent Acquistion. They can't figure out why there's a retention issue. Does anything above strike you as a red flag? I'm not just some angry ex-employee making waves after departure out of spite. I stand up for my morals, my ethics, and what I feel is right. I stand up for the ones that don't feel like they have a voice or are too scared to speak for themselves. I stand up for myself. That's why, I'm not a good fit for the team. A few great coworkers! Lots of politics, trust issues, micro-manager, lack of leadership, zero communication skills, no flexibility, not allowed to have responsibilities aside from the job, like children, a family, or spouse.. 0.0 0.0 2.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 4.0 1.0 Feb 2nd, 2021 05:43PM Mar 20th, 2021 03:57PM University of California, San Francisco Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology

The PRIDE values drives the community there. Management can be hit or miss. Don't expect to be spoiled with free lunch every day, but occasionally you will be fed. Not bad overall.
