Pros

tuition reimbursement, opportunities to advance in certain titles, cater to many cultural families, flex schedule

Cons

lack of diversity among professional staff (nurses) but cater to a variety of diverse cultures, inconsistency among management and staff, if you are not kissing up or have courage to voice your concerns without hesistation then you are a threat or trouble maker and these factors will stop you from advancing forward currently is interchanging people positions such as RNs, PCA's, HUCS and using them outside their job they are hired for (RNS should not to used as sitters at a RN rate and at the discretion of management, HUCs should not used as sitters because they are not direct care providers and lack the required skills, and PCAs should not be used as HUCs when they are paid on higher pay scales and have different responsibilities), you can be floated to other units that are consistently understaffed, management in my dept doesn't listen to your concerns and basically makes decisions based on arrogance rather than seeking staff opinon, doesn't address discrimination at hand but offers diversity training to the whole instead ( this is a big issue in my dept, its becoming overbearing), RNs who have many years of experience as an ASN can not advance if they don't have BSN. Value initiative to save money is not effective

Pros

Provides quality healthcare to children; good focus on safety

Cons

The people in leadership positions are inflexible, do not instill confidence, are not dynamic, are intellectually lazy and arrogant and have no tolerance for opinions different than their own. They have people that have been in leadership positions for decades who only regurgitate the same old, tired catch phrases when you present them with issues, problems or new ideas. Their responses are rehearsed and pathetic. The way leadership treats employees is nothing less than insulting. They never listen to or act on feedback even though they have employee surveys. The working environment is "my way or the high way". The company is much too woke also. They need to focus on healthcare and not social issues. People don't want to be told what to believe and how to behave when they are working. The organization thinks it is a privilege to work there. The turnover rate is off the charts.

Overall great place, but leadership challenges prevail

Pros

Great organization, great employees, incredible mission. It's obviously rewarding to contribute to children's healthcare (no matter what capacity). Overall good work-life balance and good culture.

Cons

Leadership will state great initiatives/goals, but their actions oftentimes directly contradict them. Example, the organization has a "priority" of developing "great bosses" that have more time with their direct reports. After this goal was stated, my department completely reorganized and teams were shoved together (giving already strapped managers more direct reports). Certain projects are stated to be "the highest priority," but then resource allocation decisions are made that don't align with stated priority. In my eight years of employment, I've noticed that the employees that are promoted are the ones that don't voice concerns. Therefore, if you question decisions and give honest feedback (in a sincere effort to improve the organization), there is a reasonable chance you'll be labeled as a complainer and not promoted. Finally, even with an exceptional yearly review, expect the max raise to be 2-3%. The employee cost of benefits each year increases at a higher rate, leaving you feeling like you're less successful from year to year despite excellent performance reviews. This is a little hard to swallow when the organization posts great profits, achieves a #2 national ranking and continues to build new buildings/purchase new practices.
