Making life better for Executives and VP's, not children!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers..great clinical staff, the people "really" making life better for children.

Cons

No opportunity for clinical professional development. Children's is a marketing machine...the marketing department is top notch! With that being said, it's all talk with no substance. I honestly don't know what all the directors, vice presidents and executives are paid to do..hire outside consulting firms to tell them what to do?? A lot of top notch staff were let go recently, yet the propaganda machine continues to promote that we are always looking to recruit and retain the best. It's just lip service. Not for profit??..have you seen the amount of money being spent on facilities and the numerous new management and VP positions? Sure the hospital doesn't pay out profits to share holders..but that doesn't mean we aren't making a substantial profit. Sadly...the hospital is being run just like the rest of corporate america. No oversight of physicians. Priority is on Children's "image" not clinical outcomes.

Terrible company with poor leaders

Pros

The pay is fair at this hospital compared to other places I have worked.

Cons

Favoritism with hiring relatives or friends to replace long term workers, racism, no voice in decisions and leaders who make decisions that go unchecked by Vice Presidents. The CEO has no clue. Too many good employees find jobs elsewhere or are driven out of the hospital, most recently in HR and IT. The hospital has a program they call Just Culture but this is an Unjust Culture. This hospital has over 20 Vice Presidents (and adding more) but eliminates the jobs of lower payed employees everyday. Most employees are unhappy and are looking for jobs elsewhere. Those that stay, stay for one reason, the children. The only way things will change at this hospital is for the senior leaders to become aware of the injustices done to some of its best employees and do something about it. Knowing this is not going to happen, the next best thing for this hospital would be to elect a Union.

Pros

Modern facilities, great corporate learning function (although it is slowly being gutted), front line staff are smart and committed to the mission. Money is there to fund your dreams, if you are connected to the right people.

Cons

Anything coming out of the Purple Palace - senior leadership is lots of words and no action. Would rather pay people to blame than actually get their hands dirty doing the real, difficult work. Values are given lip-service by leadership but not at all lived. Top management distracted by fads and trends versus focusing on fundamentals (we went through a 'Just Cultre', Service Excellence, Lean/Six Sigma, Anti-Hoizontal Violence, Work Outs, Studer Group and another packaged consulting group improvement overhaul just in the three years I was there). Lots of favoritism and the people who are actually making life better for children frequently get overlooked. Very little career development once you are in the door and a high-churn makes it hard to find a mentor a/o consistent work group.
