Non-Profit????

Pros

Monopoly, underserved reputation, excellent dedicated nurses and staff. Excellent community support.

Cons

Dirty, poorly maintained. Non-profit, what a joke!!!!. Look up the publicly available 990 IRS form, massive profits, very handsomely compensated executives, all on the back of a hugely understaffed for volume monopoly. For instance, Irwin Kaufman, who was FIRED as the Chief Medical Officer 3 years ago, is still there making almost $2,500 a DAY, every day, all year. He has never worked anywhere else so it is not like he is top talent which needs to be retained. Multiply that by the 20 or so highly compensated administrators, several without advanced degrees, and you see why the costs are so high. Why do they need 2 Chief Medical Officers, and a Chief of Pediatrics and a Chief of the Medical Group, all paid WAY north of half a million dollars a year plus deferred salary. Just those 4 administrators cost $16,000 per DAY, every DAY, just firing Kaufmann would enable them to hire 15 highly paid, full time nurses to actually care for the patients and allow the nurses to take breaks and slow the incredible burnout.

Pros

Helping children and their families is a common trait amongst all employees. Parking is easy. Monday through Friday hours.

Cons

This place will rob you of your soul. In my division there is one director and four managers. All of them are despised by their subordinates. The CARES model (Collaborative, Accountable, Respectful, Excellent, and Safe) does not apply to them. It is a revolving door of new employees replacing old ones. One manager was responsible for over a hundred years of experience leaving. Another was known for not just harassing but sexually molesting women employees. He still works there. The director is clueless and wants to keep all problems "in house" so higher management will not find out about the rampant mismanagement and plight of the dedicated workers. If you do speak up you will receive a target on your back. Intimidation tactics are common. New ideas that increase productivity will not be entertained unless it comes from management. Some employees get to "skate" while others have much more work bestowed upon them creating unnecessary overtime. This lowers morale even further. Advancement is rare.

Pros

The mission of the hospital and non profit services are what keeps you wanting to go. It’s all about be kids

Cons

You are just a number. The turnover is laughable. Favoritisms is beyond words. You have to have an in with upper management to become a favorite so you can move up. People get on their bad list every month to keep everyone on their toes. Micromanagement at its best
