- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Various RN opportunities to grow as a nurse
Cons
Schedule must be made over a month in advance
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great benefits, solid leadership, focus on safety and education. Patient ratio 1:1. There are plenty of opportunities to get noticed in a positive way. Offers a broad knowledge base for pediatrics in sleep. If you like overtime and aren't skittish about remarkably sick children, or children with special needs, this is a great place. If you are meticulous about the cleanliness and quality of your studies, this is the place for you. Lots of extra shifts can be picked up.
Cons
This job is very hard. You are on camera all the time. You are graded on every single thing that happens before/ during/ after your study. The set-up can take upwards of 1.5 hours, requiring the entire seizure montage on every patient. The patients act like children who don't want to be there because they /are/ children who don't want to be there. All rules must be followed with no exceptions, no bending, no wavering to the will of a child or sympathetic parent. If something goes wrong, it is always your fault first and anything/ anyone else's issue later after further investigation. This is not the place for you if you do not work well with others. Do not plan on having another job outside of the hospital. If you are on call, you will work. Period. There are a ton of rules that must be followed and the rules can change from week to week, depending on the needs of the lab.
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Caring for sick children. Making a difference for families during difficult times.
Cons
Management and leadership are toxic. If you report your leader to HR you are not protected from retaliation. HR is only there to protect management. When so many people complain on one manager and HR does nothing it speaks volumes. Every year the benefits got worse. More expensive and less coverage. Shameful. Also: The way we were treated during the early days of the pandemic and having our PTO and EIB taken from us and given a measly stipend which was announced all over the news, which no other hospital did was disappointing. Not only that, but the CEO’s $12,000,000 salary didn’t suffer at all.

Pros
CEO cares and good culture
Cons
Low pay and no plans for changing that
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
The people/teams make this place what it is. I come to work each day for my team, who are like family.
Cons
I sacrifice myself for the team, not leadership. We keep getting busier and busier, but yet the pay is not commensurate to keep up. We cannot keep staff, and new hires get scared off by low pay, and lack of staffing. Leadership knows that we are the lowest paid employees of the biggest hospitals around the Houston area, but they do not care. They know that the other employees will stay as a apart of the team because we are good people, and do not want our coworkers to struggle. Meanwhile,while surgery is busting our tails early every morning, admin is busy getting breakfast, having a nice leisurely day. It is not right, nor fair. I have capped out my pay, I know that. I am only here because I am waiting until I find out what medical school I am going into. So in 4 months, I am going to start travelling.

Pros
Thoroughly enjoy learning the material
Cons
Better parking for staff employees, healthier eating options in the cafeterias, and 12 hour work shifts are probably going to add to nursing burnout in the midst of the ongoing pandemic
Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Lots of Overtime available if you're wanting to work extra.
Cons
Parking away from the campus and taking a shuttle makes it more time consuming to get to work.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
A nice place to work
Cons
Not enough staff support on night shift
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Great mission. Working with people who TRULY care about the mission.
Cons
Bad leadership. Abusive, toxic behavior from some executives (Ex: MANY people under certain leaders quit but HR does nothing about it!). The CEO became “too woke.” It became too political. Administrative assistants (and other managers/staff members) got demoted (with a pay cut and lost their titles) while executives were promoted with substantial raises. The mandating of the COVID-vaccine AND boosters was a HUGE con for me. (This is why I resigned).
