Pros

Lower level staff who give their all to stay afloat. They work hard for long hours to go above and beyond. Agree with another post. Great stepping stone for better job in healthcare.

Cons

Project Managers cheat on their time sheets. They are overpaid whiners who work a couple hours a week. They never dock their time off and claim to work hard. Sending out 5 emails does not equal 5 hours of work. They claim to work from home but are always unavailable when you email them. When they do respond it's usually later in the week and from their phone. If they take long to respond, it gives the impression they're very busy with work. On top of that they have their Infosec dept covering their tracks. The main use for Infosec is to snoop on people IM leaders dislike or people IM Leaders are trying to get close to. The ones they want to get close to are usually execs or people who work closely with executives. They read their emails on future organization plans, ideas, etc. This is the main reason why there were C-level promotions within IM. They claim to think at the exec level after snooping through execs emails! After they access and copy the info needed from exec emails and computers, they request to have their hard drives stripped. It's happened several times. They recruit other employees from the IM division to help with corruption.

Pros

Most employees are very passionate and genuinely care about their jobs.

Cons

Thinking is a punishable offense at RCHSD. You are not paid to think and management does not want to hear your suggestions. If you find an error, better find a way to make it your own, because management doesn't like to take responsibility for their own mistakes, and you will be punished. If you find a more efficient, cost effective way to do something, don't say anything, you will be written up.

Incompetent management and no accountability

Pros

Working with families, children, and community who deserve the best treatment and care. Working with dedicated staff and teams (minus management) who are passionate and really do their best to care for children and families. Great benefits

Cons

Along with limited opportunity for advancement, the major issue was a company culture that does not value its employees or attempt to address and make real changes to company culture when concerns are brought up. Management is completely out of touch and are never held accountable for anything in their departments. In my 4 years there, there was high turnover, and every employee that resigned during that time did so due to poor management and feeling that their concerns were not taken seriously. This is a pity as many of these employees (including myself) enjoyed working there but could not work there any longer under such poor management. Current managers are incompetent and lack a clear vision that is necessary to grow existing programs and enhance Rady's work throughout the community and with families and children.
