Pros
Children's is just as good as people say that it is. I always took pride in saying that I worked for Children's Medical Center. Clinical care is top notch. Front line staff care about the patients first and foremost. They take pride in what they do.
Cons
Senior leadership is out of control. There are tons of vice and senior vice presidents, many of whom are working in direction opposition to one another. There appears to be no system of checks and balances. No one seem to be evaluating the system as a whole. This is specifically apparent within Information Services. The corruption allowed within that division is unprecedented. Shuffling staff to other jobs because they are not well suited for the position they are in. Staff not allowed to take, or disturbed while on vacation because no one else has the knowledge to troubleshoot critical systems. Manipulation of control to initiate upper level positions. The creation of a program to specifically provide work for 'friends & family' - none with any IT or even healthcare experience, then the use of expensive contract workers to bring them up to speed. All of this appears to be sanctioned by the president / vice president level who reside in an ivory tower ~ never seen or heard from and unknown to front line staff.
