FCCC: Slip sliding away.....

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

A decade ago it would have been easy to list many, but as is often the case, time and change in management have not been kind to this once prestigious institution. There are still fine individuals working at FCCC, but many of the best either already have or are actively looking to depart. Consequently, Philadelphia cancer care has improved at other locations as it has slipped at FCCC (and perhaps it shouldn't amaze anyone that it coincides with the mass migration of their physicians, employees, and support staff).

Cons

Low pay, low morale, and across the board reliance on the "Peter principle" at the top-level positions has been the order of the day since Bob Young stepped down as CEO nearly a decade ago. Since that time every major department head has departed, along with the veteran leadership that you would have expected to replace them. Then the nail in the coffin: acquired by Temple.

Pros

Used to be a great place to work with caring, passionate and dedicated long term staff

Cons

Poor, poor leadership from past Presidents led to debt and merge with Temple and a whole different environment. While salaries were never competitive, the benefits were excellent.

Pros

Excellent vacation and sick leave allocations of time. Respectable pension plan along with matching 403b contributions.

Cons

Facilities run down. IT infrastructure extremely lacking in both the capabilities and how up to date it is. IT is treated as a 3rd class citizen and as nothing more than an expense. Not treated as a core service vital to the Research and the Hospital. IT management lives by the mantra of "win by losing". They do not stand up for anything that could be seen as a benefit to IT. In general an extremely poor environment to be employed in. Infrastructure Services has had a 50% turnover (14 positions) within 2 years, with more turn over lined up.
