Pros

I have had the pleasure to work with some of the finest co-workers in the Health Care Industry. The staff is what makes this organization good. The mission statement is great.

Cons

Management seems to have adopted a company mentality and one now feels like a number and not very valued. People over 10 years are moving on be cause they are scared they won't have a job or they are asked to take cuts. Cut backs big time. They are building buildings but expect staff t do more with less according to the CEO. Staff is spread really thin

Pros

On the good days, your co-workers really support you and have your back. Multiple FTE levels ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, depending on hours desired. Thorough team training in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention. Staff from other units can help out in crisis. Rewarding interactions with patients. Chance to make a difference in a kid's life.

Cons

On bad days, your co-workers don't support you very well at all. Being floated to units with poor leadership. People can and do get hurt on the job from violent patients. Traumatic environment. Vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue risks. Management is aloof and mostly ignorant to the daily struggles of the front-line workers, but yet assume they know everything, and will frequently implement new policies that are divorced from the front-line realities, for the purpose of making themselves look better on paper and no other reason.

Pros

Wonderfulhospital mission and dedicated frontline staff. Financially secure. Research driven. Support for quality improvement.

Cons

Politics! Unhealthy attitudes and acceptance towards outsiders. Culture is driven by people who have never worked outside of CCHMC. Close minded middle management that promotes or reassigns people rather than address the issues of bullying, undermining & incompetence!
