Pros

Children's has a great name and they offer many great services to the pediatric community. The Providers(Physicians, NPs, RNs, etc) want to provide exceptional care for ALL children.

Cons

Senior Leadership DOESN'T have a clue! They don't value their employees and your Manager/Director will indirectly let you know that when you approach them with feedback/issues. Unqualified individuals are promoted. It is an extremely political environment and promotions are granted because of politics, not based on performance, expertise, or ability. Some people in leadership positions (Director and above) are only marginally competent. Leadership in the corporate office have forgotten Children's mission. They only care about money and patients in certain areas of the metroplex(Plano, Frisco, Highland Park, etc). Leadership DOESN'T care about pediatric population south of downtown(Desoto, Cedar Hill, Waxahachie, etc). Medicaid patients are talked about like second class citizens. Senior leadership spend millions of dollars on new ventures without consulting with the Physician Liaison team. When projects and ventures fail, they threaten the sales team with cuts, layoffs, and take away their incentives. Its up to the Liaisons to fix those issues even if the venture was a horrible business decision to begin with. The hospital will save millions of dollars if you take the time to meet with the Liaisons to get their feedback before writing a check. Due to massive budget cuts, corporate cards are obsolete. Liaisons are required to front the bill when traveling for conferences and inservices with referring Providers. Liaisons travel to at least 22 conferences a year. Children's will reimburse on pay day. Definitely an inconvenience if you don't have a credit card. You will sit through 5-6 meetings per day at Children's. Nothing is getting done but everyone looks busy because they are in meetings. You feel like you're working in circles. The culture in the corporate office is dark, gloomy, and negative. Lots of pessimist and negativity. People are miserable but they won't leave the organization.

Pros

-great managers -non-interpreting staff very familiar working with an interpreter -policies and expectations set for most situations -exceptionally developed department (which includes a senior director) relative to other hospitals, which often lack even a basic interpreting department

Cons

-work volume; often few breaks, definitely not enough to do anything other than work-related tasks (e.g., study for class, make a personal phone call) -inflexible schedule -work flow heavily dependent on coworker proactivity -leadership structure (managers over leads over interpreters) can result in micromanagment
