Pros

probably one of the best hospital for Children care

Cons

Bad and Ugly for employees: Being a hospital you would expect this to be employee friendly but it is quite the opposite No sick leave (They dont care for employee or employee dependent health) No flexibility No materity leave (especially being a childrens hospital) No paternity leave (especially being a childrens hospital) Yearly Bonus only reserved for management positions (manager and above) No yearly salary raises High employee insurance out of pocket costs Lot of micromanagement on non-management positions Number of duplicate management positions (this is where the money is going) There is standard 401k mathching but it is not vested until 3 years of service There are spending billions on expansion (probably lot of wastage) Very disorganized HR policies and guidelines (no transparency) 9 hours work days mandatory Good for children needing care: probably one of the best hospital for Children care Bottomline: For employees it is one of the worst

Pros

Learning a lot of different things from different areas. You are able to meet and work with really good people.

Cons

I worked here for over 7 years and nothing ever really changed around there. They stack so much work on the employees for the amount of pay. Experienced so many changes through out the years but never good management. They don’t care about the employees. It’s all about who you know or who fits in. They always talked about budget cuts through all the years there but they have so many unnecessary Mgrs or Directors. Also just so much bickering and drama there.
