Pros

Strong mission and meaningful work. Experiencing much change, but the culture remains.

Cons

Benefits, including health insurance and retirement program, are not competitive.

Akron Children's Response

Thanks so much for your feedback. We are passionate about our mission– and about our employees who remain dedicated to it despite these challenging times. We annually benchmark and refresh our benefits package to ensure we’re offering competitive, cost-effective benefits and meeting the needs of our diverse workforce. When it comes to health plans, our consumer-directed health plan is a market leader, as we provide up to $2,200 annually (depending on your coverage level) into the Health Savings Accounts of employees who choose that plan to support and defray their medical expenses. To help employees save for retirement, we offer a 403(b) plan with a match on employee contributions and a 401(a) plan that is funded entirely by Akron Children’s Hospital.
