Management - Good ole Boys and Girls Club with no skills being a competent manager

Pros

Reputation, which now amazes me. Not sure how a hospital with such broken systems and management is able to succeed, however those at the front lines - docs, nurses, etc. are what make the hospital work. They would have to love their job and the mission to stand working there with some of the managers in place.

Cons

Poor management. The men and women who make up much of the mgmt team are not there due to stellar mgmt skills ... at all. They are there because of number of years they've worked there. Since Children's does not have a layoff policy, instead of bad performance being weeded out, they remain ... making it miserable for the minority ... the folks who actually care about their jobs and are stellar performers.

Love the children, but despise the sorry attempt at leadership/management

Pros

If you love kids, this is the place to work. You have the opportunity to make an impact every day you come to work. Also, the majority of the employees that work "on the floor" are here for the same reason--they love kids.

Cons

Management leans far too heavily on the fact people work there because they love kids--there's absolutely no competition or other pediatric hospitals in the area, so they don't have much competition and can treat employees poorly. Absolutely no follow-through every year when the annual review takes place--change doesn't occur.
