If you are an insured motorist and get hit by an uninsured motorist should you use your job's personal medical insurance or your auto insurance or both?

More than likely, you will begin by using your personal medical insurance. Medical expenses and lost wages can possibly be reimbursed through the uninsured motorists coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured coverage laws vary by state. Contact your insurance agent for a full explanation of how this coverage would work on your policy.

What does stacked uninsured motorist coverage mean and will it get your car fixed by insurance?
"Stacked" refers to uninsured motorist coverage, not to liability or physical damage coverage. In essence, if there are two cars in a household, both with insured motorist coverage, the uninsured motorist limits of the cars can be "stacked"--added together. Naturally, this will only make a difference if the severity of the injury and the clarity of the liability is such as to warrant that size of a payment to the insured. Keep in mind that the assessment of damages by an insurer in an uninsured motorist claim is similar to that done by a liability insurer in a third-party claim. Note also that some states have "anti-stacking" statutes which prohibit the stacking of ininsured motorist limits.

What does an uninsured driver pay when hitting an insured driver?
If it is the uninsured driver's fault in the accident, you can still file a lawsuit against the uninsured driver but you'll only be able to recover from their personal assets, which in many states won't be much because many states allow you to shield many personal assets from this sort of recovery. You will also be filing a claim against your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage on your insurance policy.
