Pros

Great mission Top-notch medical experts providing comprehensive, compassionate patient care Excellent researchers doing critical work to finding cures for childhood diseases Facility is child and family friendly

Cons

Upper management is a good ol' boys club. Many administrative management staff is non-effective and have risen to the position due to years at the company rather than talent to do the job - the barnacle effect. Opportunity for advancement and career development is lacking. Administrative management falls down on the job setting an example of "ART - Accountability Respect & Teamwork"

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.
