Management is extremely disconnected from reality

Business Outlook

Pros

No pros to provide for this company/department

Cons

There are expectations social workers will stay several hours late with no compensation. There is a disconnect between employees and management. Does not appear that this social work department values its employees time or perspective. There is an expectation employees will follow the status quo. I did not see much interest in developing better practices or any self reflection... seems as though the department is very behind the times and only focuses on money, numbers and busy work rather than quality patient care. Close to zero empathy from management when it comes down to what is really going on in patients/families lives.

Akron Children's Response

Thank you for your current service at Akron Children’s. We’re sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with our management and flexibility for work-life balance. We recognize and appreciate the hard work that our staff dedicates to our mission each day and are always looking for better ways to improve our teams. Feedback like yours is critical in helping us learn where we need to make changes.
