Pros

Pretty good health insurance, fair pay (very poor raises, though). Some very nice people work there. Hard to think of any other positives!

Cons

The management in my group was CRAZY -- and on its way down. Children's as an entity puts policy above the needs of their employees. Management is GENEROUSLY compensated, but cares very little for those attempting to support them. Traffic to the downtown locations is horrific. A lot of pressure to conform: no room for inspiration. Tons of "politics" in my group. Micromanagement.

Pros

Front line staff genuinely care and are committed to the organization, even though it has changed dramatically for the worse.

Cons

Leadership under new CEO (Longhurst) has quickly become toxic. Long time employees and leaders are exiting quickly. Return to office mandate is going into effect in October 2026 and has caused massive upheaval and unproductive work for months as employees seek answers and get none. This comes after years of successive waves of layoffs and financial struggles that have damaged trust in executive leadership and the board. SCH used to care about mission and now it cares about keeping up with tech company trends and petting CEO’s ego.
