Insane management, legally questionable HR policies, good people trying to make it work for the kids in spite of it all. - Anonymous employee CHOC Children's Employee Review

Pros

Good people here at ground level trying their hardest to survive corrupt management.

Cons

Retaliation is the order of the day. Management is promoted according to the Peter Principle: ie, promoted to levels of incompetence. There are henchmen who regularly bypass the chain of command to report to the managers/directors what they want to hear. Try to do much for the kids, and you're shot down. Now especially it's a numbers game, with so many of the MDs having gone to UCI. Revenue is all-important, but there are many process and policies that at their best don't work and at their worst, damaging to hospital reputation as well as line staff reputation.
