There is No Better Place to Work Than St. Jude - Administrative Director St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Employee Review

Pros

We are making kids better. No matter what your job function is at St. Jude, you are contributing to our mission of finding cures and saving children. My "worst" day at St. Jude is better than any day I have had working elsewhere. We work hard, play hard and love what we do. The way that our hospital has come together to make it safely through the pandemic has been astonishing.

Cons

So many people ask me how I work at St. Jude, and, yes, seeing suffering children can be heavy on the heart. Seeing well children from our efforts and seeing leftover confetti from a No Mo Chemo party does amazing things for your soul.

This was a lovely review to read. Thank you so much for your kindness. While seeing sick children and young adults can be very trying, it makes the recoveries that much sweeter. St. Jude is not a sad place; it's a place full of hope and promise. And the day we no longer see that confetti means we've finally accomplished our mission! Our leadership thanks you for your touching words.

Pros

Strong mission, good institutional reputation, and attractive benefits package.

Cons

The hiring process felt inconsistent with the flexibility and compensation expectations communicated earlier in recruiter screening. While flexibility and work arrangement options were emphasized throughout the process, there appeared to be very limited actual flexibility once the formal offer stage began. Compensation and advancement also are heavily constrained by rigid internal structures and comparisons between existing employees, which means the growth opportunities depend more on internal hierarchy and tenure than on individual performance, experience, or market value.
