Pros

It feels good to know you're making a difference, even in non-clinical positions. All employees, from physicians to custodians, seem to enjoy their work. Benefits are excellent compared to most hospitals in the region. While fraught with beauracracy, Children's seems to have their heart in the right place.

Cons

It's not located near the center of the city, and there's always construction going on, making navigating the campus a chore. Due to several shake-ups in upper administration, it seems like Children's mission and vision statements also need a revision to point out their haphazard expansion and growth plans. Also, smells like bleach everywhere.

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.
