      I worked at Texas Children's Hospital full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Can definitely make money with overtime, great benefits, decent bonuses but the children and company integrity is the biggest bonus of all. Can easily travel within the company to many departments, industries, specialties with training and support.

      Cons

      Humans are petty, management can be very egotistical and pessimistic but politics are wherever you go. For the majority, everyone is very nice almost to a fault so there is also a lot of passive aggressiveness but you can survive that.

      Advice to Management

      Take in to consideration everyone involved, not just your favorites. Do what's right, period.

      Pros

      Love working with all of the departments. Nursing culture is amazing. Executive leaders are available and supportive. Support Services like Patient Transport, EVS, Security, SRC and Engineering are awesome. Social Work and Family Advocacy are great too. Everyone is focused on taking care of the patients' needs.

      Cons

      Sometimes it takes a while for a decision to be made. Almost too collaborative.

      Advice to Management

      Keep up the great work.

      Pros

      Had amazing co-workers and Dr. I worked for. Loved helping & interacting with patients. They took the place of my family in so many positive ways.

      Cons

      Management has to much favoritism and don't value the hard working employees. Don't pay sick time unless you bring Dr's excuse AFTER 3 days and will be written up if you're sick from one day to another ....unless to GO IN SICK & "must" work 4 hrs..at least.

      Advice to Management

      Since some management members do not know what having children is if not they're older now...be more considerate of your dedicated employees. Without each of them you would not have anything to offer the facility. Treat others the way YOU like to be treated and all the patients MUST be treated if they were kin to one. No one is more or less than the other. Insured , self pay low income, rich....they're as human as each one of US!! Blessings 🙏🙏

      Pros

      Work hours only. Some of the nursing staff are great.

      Cons

      Security Leadership and Management are awful. Favoritism to the highest levels. Treats employees like crap, no advancement, low salary for officers, but management and leadership are paid handsomely almost to six figures. But officers are paid between $12-$15 hourly. Security Administrators are liars, scammers and don't know anything. All lazy and fat cowards. And their friends they hired.

      Advice to Management

      Hire new leadership for Security Services. The new guys aren't cutting it at all.

      Pros

      Great coworkers. Most Senior leaders have moved up internally from within the organization, so they have a better feel for the work being done by their staff and at the front lines of patient care.

      Most leaders are very conscious of work life balance and do their best to ensure you know that.

      Cons

      Growing pains from massive expansion. They are making the jump from a singular hospital to a multi-facility large IDN. With each large capital expansion facility coming online, operational costs grow and business support departments are struggling to provide support. Business support departments are last inline for employee growth, so they have to do more with current staff, and in some cases, do more with less staff due to FTE vacancies not being back filled or extremely difficult to get positions posted.

      Advice to Management

      Central support departments are struggling to keep up with service levels to each new site that's built. If they aren't able to grow or replace staff, they will begin to fail.
