Management- Worst Place I have ever worked

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The nurses and doctors are extremely skilled/talented/caring people.

Cons

Extreme concern over their "image" and not on making it a great working environment. Management are a bunch of cronies....and they treat their employee's like crap behind closed doors. Upper management needs to go....you have no idea how bad this place is since you only get your info from your cronies and they are not about to tell you the truth. If you are honest and tell the truth....don't expect to be there long.....I've seen many get booted out for speaking the truth. Most unqualified, dysfunctional place I've ever worked.

Very dysfunctional senior leadership

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Almost everyone, from top to bottom, work at CHOC for the mission of the health and well-being of children. On the clinical side, there are some seriously great clinicians and clinical leadership doing amazing work. Great place to get care.

Cons

The senior leadership is highly dysfunctional and it stems from the CEO.

Business Outlook

Pros

colleagues, patients, some of the physicians are great

Cons

Firing and laying off staff every few years because the senior leadership team is not competent. The CEO, CFO, CMO, and VP Marketing have been there for over 20 years. THIS HOSPITAL NEEDS A NEW EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM NOT MORE STAFF REDUCTIONS.
