Pros

The benefits are quite decent Mostly work with your schedule

Cons

Slow to respond to complaints, Gaslight you when you do. They keep the place chronically understaffed. This means that the flexibility in scheduling they usually have gets tossed to the side and may schedule in hours you’re unavailable. Constantly calling you on your personal days off. Make promises that things will get better and months later it will be the same understaffed, hectic, overworked conditions. These conditions make fellow coworkers disillusioned and don’t care about the job and only a few people end up doing a majority of the work and things get left not done.

Akron Children's Response

We recognize that the staffing crisis at health care organizations across the country – including Akron Children’s – has placed a huge burden on our workforce. We’re grateful for the grace and flexibility our employees have shown throughout the pandemic, and we are aggressively taking steps to support them. We launched a Helping Hands flexible staffing support program, which compensates employees for taking on additional duties in areas of most need, from support services to patient care. To encourage more job seekers to join our team, we now also offer sign-on bonuses for many roles. We encourage you to share any specific concerns via your manager, HR representative or Children’s confidential compliance hotline. As a current employee, you will find the number for this hotline on the Compliance-Helpline/Hotline page on our staff intranet myKidsnet.
