Pros
Working for an organization whose mission is to care for children and save lives.
Cons
Many leaders and employees have been at the organization for their entire careers and do not welcome new ideas or diversity. Career progression is not clear, and it appears people are promoted based on tenure, not performance. In some cases, leadership appears to be unsupportive, or even actively holding employees back from career growth and advancement. Openness and directness are discouraged, which breeds a culture of exclusion and passive aggression. There does not seem to be value placed on developing solid business strategy or planning for the organization’s future financial stability. I worked at several prominent organizations prior to coming to Children’s and was very disappointed to experience the unpleasant and unprogressive culture of this organization.
