Pros

Medical staff still believes in original mission and vision.

Cons

Too many Narcissistic SLT members. CEO hires his SLT members from a long list of executives that have been fired more than once from other executive positions. What's up with that. Look alive, there is a reason they were fired. Check them out. They are running a great hospital into the ground and it seems like they are trying very hard to do that and seem happy about it. SHAME ON THE BOARD FOR HIRING DUROVICH.

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.
