Pros
The mission, knowing that you are supporting the amazing care provided to children. No matter how bad things are at work it is hard to leave a place that does such wonderful work with children.
Cons
It is no longer about the kids, families, caregivers and staff who support them. Most senior level leaders that made CHW the number 3 children's hospital in the country are gone, leaving a gap in the commitment to the mission that made CHW such an amazing place. There have been additional levels of management added and positions of front line staff eliminated, which has impacted moral and ability to deliver the same level of excellence. Focus has moved from Kids, and Families and if feels more like big business. Staff in IT were told they could easily be replaced and treated with a lack of respect; this led to a huge loss of talent.
