Children's Medical Center Employer Reviews

I loved my job at the hospital!!! Worked with a great Team... I loved being able to put a smile on the little faces that came in on a daily basis.

I enjoyed working at Childrens Medical I learned alot and enjoyed the staff. I was there for over 6 years. Worked in the clinic's checking in patients, taking co-pays and verifying insurance and scheduling appointments.

Childrdens has a great mission but has become a complicated system where every management step has multiple subsequent hoops to jump through. This approach can paralyze an organization and leads to very inefficient processes

Working enviroment not well
no trust among co-worker
management not very understanding

Children's Medical Center is a good place to work overall; however, the department I am employed with does not offer the opportunity for one to grow and expand their knowledge. There ultimately is not much room for growth.

You will always have a job.

As with most large companies, a lot of controls are in place.

The hardest part is ..I can't hardly have time to have a break..

Everyday you are working to help save lives of children. It doesn't get much more rewarding than that. Everyday was a new experience. There was always IMAC style moves and help desk issues, but I alos had the chance to take on projects like a Hardware refresh and Software Updates. Everything had a deadline that was unflexible, and you warked hard everyday.

Working as a chaplain in a Children's Hospital has its own challenges every day. But deep inside I leave each day with a satisfaction of knowing that my presence was meaningful to someone. I have an amazing group of peers and supervisors. Even though there is lot of fun and excitement in working as a team, it is always hard to minister to a family who – more... lost their child(ren) to some tragic event. However, I gain hope and courage from the fact that more children leave through the front door of the hospital than the back door. – less

As someone with many years of clinical experience with newly acquired knowledge of business and healthcare administration, CMC provided a great avenue to allow me to combine both arenas. I was quickly able to identify operational strengths and opportunities for improvement.

My most enjoyable moments of the day were working with staff and problem-solving – more... the day's events. A large staff was instrumental to the operations of the clinic and needed daily attention and oversight to ensure effectiveness. This allowed for hands-on management of staff and resources in addition to patient and physician rounding. However, with a large staff, it was often difficult to juggle people with necessary projects. If not careful, the very things that brought me to work everyday also became the most difficult part of my job. In order to find balance between people and project management, it was important to clearly define boundaries. – less

Wonderful opportunity to start up a radiology department. Set protocols. Small staff to start with and when the doors opened we were surprised at needing to hire more staff. Ever growing area. Opened more units and advanced to stroke certified emergency room. Great physicians and communication.

I work for a wonderful and stable company who has given me the opportunity to grow and develop my career.

Excellent organization, excellent people! Great management and all around great experience. The hardest part of leaving was leaving for a company that paid higher, however wish I would've stayed and would absolutely love to go back.

Employees throughout the company, clinical and non-clinical, were focused on making life better for children.

Fast paced and warm environment
I have learned verifications, insurance
Love working with children and the families

Children's is a great place to work.

Nice people.

Great atmosphere

Hi-Tech equipment

People are very understanding

I would begin my days as a volunteer cashier by opening a cash register and assisting customer's with their purchases. Throughout the day I would receive telephone gift orders and then would deliver them to the patient's rooms. While on the job I learned how to handle all types of people. Any type of job in a hospital can be difficult, the people that – more... are there don't want to be. I had to learn how to always have a positive, caring attitude even when that is not what I was receiving from my customer's. I was there to help them, and that's excactly what I did. I learned how to appreciate people's stories and how they got to where they were. I worked there when I was very young and it taught me how to listen and value everyone's opinions, even if I didn't agree with them. I worked in a small gift shop, so most of the time I worked independently. The hardest part of the job was keeping a positive outlook when I would deliver gift's to the rooms of patient's that might not have made it through the night. It was very difficult to think that while I was imagining my homecoming a couple months away that they might be imagining their funerals. The gift's weren't from me, but I was the one that got to enjoy their joy with them as they received their surprises, this was the most enjoyable part of the job. Spending time with these children and their families taught me how to be more appreciative of the little things in life. – less

A typical day at work is quite and most people are hard at work. I've learned a lot regarding benefits, FMLA and the overall structure of a large health care organization. There's a lot of management and there should be more direct reports. The hardest part of my job is not feeling valued some of the time. The most enjoyable part of the job are the – more... people I work with. – less

A great place to work if you like to work in the hospital. I learned so much stuff there about ultrasound that I will never forget. The employees there are great too, They are very helpful if you need some help.
