Pros

Great institutional mission Talented and caring medical staff

Cons

Senior departmental leadership that is as mean-spirited as it is ineffectual. Complete lack of strategy or long-term planning. Expectations that seem to shift by the minute with no tangible results, even years later. Sky's the limit attitude on spending when it comes to consultants and pet projects, while claiming there is no money in the budget to give hard-working staff full-time status with benefits. Constant foul-mouthed, nasty snipes from senior departmental leadership, including about other leaders in the hospital. Verbal and emotional abuse of a group of staff who really care about the hospital but are exploited and belittled at every turn. And perhaps worst of all, top hospital brass that either doesn't know or doesn't care how bad things are...despite an almost 100% staff turnover since present departmental leadership took over.

Pros

The best reason to work at Boston Children's Hospital is having the opportunity for your work to help Children. (Read as "if you're clinical staff")

Cons

Childish behavior runs rampant throughout every department, from the administrative staff to the attending physicians. Management won't do much to fix it. You WILL dread coming to work.
