Loma Linda University Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Semi-decent place to start your career as an entry level/new grad, but know when it's time to move on and know your worth. Not possible to advance through the ranks unless you're well liked and popular with management; doesn't matter how competent, smart, capable, or good you are at your job. Managers take things personally and won't hesitate to call you out or throw you under the bus. Not the most supportive environment, but not the absolute worst I guess."

"The company has a strong foundation and skilled practitioners, but leadership is quite divided and constantly pursuing diverging goals. While the mission of the organization is posed as united, the practical reality is that the vested interests are divided. LLU would be more successful in working in unity."

"I interned for LLU for the last four summers as I pursued my degree in computer engineering at Walla Walla University. They do an excellent job ensuring that the projects you work on will benefit the community. They challenge you to learn both new languages and standards."

"Loma Linda University Health is a great place to work. It is a nonprofit faith-based organization that places a very high regard on its mission vision and values."

"I have worked at Loma Linda University and it has been a great pleasure to be a part of."

"They are not a good place to work. They are nice to their work forces."

"The pharmacy department has grown increasingly over the years. And it has its pluses and minuses. A plus in that it provides a large networking system of pharmacist specialists to turn to. Minuses in that this department is also very top heavy, and that quantity has overcome quality. Due to the large # of pharmacists, management doesn't have/make much time to oversee all employees. Clinical pharmacists are excessive & appear to have more time on their hands than what they're paid for, making a return on investment on a # of these questionable. Returning to management, they do not spend time in the work area itself & base their take on pharmacists based on feedback only from others. "Staff" pharmacists don't feel appreciated for their work & feel disposable, especially with the current job market. It was essentially a thankless experience. Finally, with the amount of clinical pharmacists who do work here, I was very disappointed to see a lack of protocols for various medications/populations. This created more inconsistency & made things often frustrating for physicians, nurses, and pharmacists alike. But, this was a great place to gain knowledge & experience in all levels of patient care. Despite the negatives above, I do appreciate how employment does strengthen the resume in the end."

"NEEDS IMPROVEMENT."
