Great environment with positive people doing great deeds for the community.
Speakers Bureau (Current Employee), Los Angeles – March 20, 2013
Pros: people are great. fun events.
Typically, when asked to give a speech I am given anywhere from 1-3 months advance notice. I will get some information about the crowd I am going to be speaking too. It is very inspiring to be able to share my story in front of hundreds of people. People truly want to hear where there money is going when they donate to the City of Hope, and I am the – more... face of where there money is going. Sometimes it is hard to tell my story of being a cancer survivor, but when I think about all of the people that I am helping, I never think twice about it again. – less

Unome – April 5, 2013

It would be good to tell the truth, where are our donations goes. But, you know for a fact that all the Board Members all earned a bonus of approximately $500.000.00, this is half a million. Are we donating to pay people for Bonuses, beside their regular salary? My tiny dollars is not enough for them. Get real and start to see this is not a Non Profit Agency, The make a profit to pass out large sum of Bonuses to the Board of Directors.

Great place to work, sense of family with co-workers and management that that listens to you.
Clinical Nurse III - Evaluation and Treatment (Current Employee), Duarte, CA – December 30, 2012
Pros: great work enviroment
Cons: growing very quickly due to more patients getting dx with cancer
Attending to the urgent needs of the oncology patient post transplant can become complicated, but working as a team and communicating with each other as professional makes this process seamless.

Unome – January 10, 2013

As for Sense of Family, it's only when you are in the Some Race & Culture of those nurses, otherwise they avoid helping other workers when in need of help. "Code Blue". I realized how phony those people are,. Mngt, will listen, but no action is taken to correct the lazy workers, Mngt will fail to follow up with your concern with neglience of the staff. Next, you will not be schedule, your phone calls are being ignored, then a surprise letter arrived to ur home "You Are Terminated" & they fail to give your last pay check. You have to Beg for your pay check.

Good values, but poor management
Application & Program Mgmt Lead (Current Employee), Los Angeles, CA – December 13, 2012
The management here, at least where I worked, isn't interested in helping their employees to get ahead. The values of the company overall are good, and if you work on campus the environment is better than in the philanthropy office. Very very old school, top down management style in the philanthropy office.

Toxic Environment, Managment is allowed to do as they wish
Lab Assistant (Anatomic Pathology) (Former Employee), Duarte, CA – December 10, 2012
Pros: close to home
Cons: uncaring management (anatomic pathology), outdated equipment, understaffing
Most jobs are union, however, management hates the unions so there's always problems. This place has drug rings operating within, infidelity cases that lead to broken marriages, with their security personell leading the way, those guys don't respect matrimony, they hit on all the women - married or not, they start by offering them rides to and from – more... their cars at the start of the day and at the end of the day. I saw people being fired with NO just cause, simply because they don't like you. Management just not caring or respecting people's rights. Lab mistakes on a daily basis and nursing personell who are just there to make a buck. Leaving this place was the best thing I ever did! – less

Only work there for a Quick Buck $, not a long term job.
No longer there (Former Employee), management cover up – December 2, 2012
Pros: caring for real sick people, that needs you.
Cons: working with incompletent and unlicense staff.
What you are actually doing is covering up mistakes from RNs and other workers. They don't know the simple basic thing to vital signs to medication. And all management from Personnel to Staffing are dodging the truth of the problem. You will lose you license, because the blame always goes toward lower level.

Educational work environment for all levels of management
Assistant Director of Development (Former Employee), Los Angeles, CA – October 18, 2012
Pros: the company had educational advancement programs
Cons: management changes
I worked at City of Hope for over 20 years, I learned many business techniques. How to run a business and as well as coordinating sporting, fashion shows, dinner/dance events. Throughout my tenure at the company, I collaborated with many employees in different departments and volunteers outside of City of Hope to represent City of Hope as a professional – more... organization. I achieved many educational certificates and was used as an liasion to help teach new employees about the organization. I take at City of Hope for a long time because, the organization, abide by many procedures and help people in there need of pain and suffering. City of Hope has taught me many aspects of living, and learning. – less

City of Hope is a cancer hospital that provides tremendous help for patients who are undergoing treatment for a terrible time in their life.
Senior Secretary (Former Employee), Duarte, CA – September 5, 2012
I worked in Anatomic Pathology and many times had to deal with very difficult situations.

Since the beginning of my career I have learned the significance of "listening" when people are upset or they need someone who will "listen" attentively. It was never more evident than the time I worked at COH.

Little hope for career advancement
Staff Scientist (Current Employee), Duarte, CA – August 16, 2012
The City of Hope is a good place to work if you have a family. The benefits are good and they try to support their employees. However, there is little job security and hope for advancement, at least in the field of research. They hire too many Post Docs who then have few options for further advancement.

One of a kind institution that provides a safe place for patients when they are the most vulnerable.
Clinical Manager of Adult Ambulatory Infusion (Current Employee), Duarte, CA – July 4, 2012
My daily work includes monitoring the flow through 3 adult infusion centers (48 treatment spots). We treat between 180 and 200 patients on a daily basis. Reviewing the schedule for future days, assigning acuity and assuring proper staffing. The most difficult part of my job is speaking with patients and their loved ones when they experience an encounter – more... at City of Hope that does not meet their needs. The most enjoyable part of my day is having conversations with patients and their loved ones that want to express their gratitude for the care they receive. – less
