Great teamwork, but leadership lacks employee connection

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good crew to work with on the day to day. Good teamwork between nurses.

Cons

Upper leadership doesn't seem to know their employees or what's important for them. They are so focused on being a "premier" destination for pediatric health, but forget that the nurses are the backbone and need to be respected and seen.
