Pros

Co-workers..great clinical staff, the people "really" making life better for children.

Cons

No opportunity for clinical professional development. Children's is a marketing machine...the marketing department is top notch! With that being said, it's all talk with no substance. I honestly don't know what all the directors, vice presidents and executives are paid to do..hire outside consulting firms to tell them what to do?? A lot of top notch staff were let go recently, yet the propaganda machine continues to promote that we are always looking to recruit and retain the best. It's just lip service. Not for profit??..have you seen the amount of money being spent on facilities and the numerous new management and VP positions? Sure the hospital doesn't pay out profits to share holders..but that doesn't mean we aren't making a substantial profit. Sadly...the hospital is being run just like the rest of corporate america. No oversight of physicians. Priority is on Children's "image" not clinical outcomes.

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
