Wonderful place to work
Credentialing Specialist (Former Employee), Seattle, WA – January 28, 2013
This hospital is a great place to work and has great benefits. The only thing is the work/life balance. Seattle is extremely busy and expensive to live there.

ask about mandatory call
Respiratory Therapist (Current Employee), throughout the hospital – January 23, 2013
Pros: you get to work with children
Cons: you are expected to work harder than is safe for the patients
The HR dept. is underhanded. If you are a Resp. Ther. I would look elsewhere. The hospital is currently taking advantage of the RT's here. There is mandatory call in effect, problems with pay for overtime and contract manipulation by the payroll and HR departments. Be warned

Productive and very busy work place. The kids are awesome!
FSC-Flu Room (Former Employee), Seattle, WA – January 4, 2013
A typical day in the flu room would be; setting up the stations getting ready for the employees, patient and family members to come in a receive the yearly influenzia vaccine. The employees would also need to have their Hep B, fit testing, and PPD done to be compliant. My job was to make sure that everyone that came through our door was up to date and – more... compliant.

My co-workers was awesome! We worked well together as a team. Everyone pitched in when needed without hesitation. There was nothing hard about the job. If I had to choose a hard part it would be seeing the kids not being active due to their illness. The enjoyable part was making them smile. It brought out the kid in me. – less

Its all good accept HR
Engineering (Former Employee), Seattle, WA – December 11, 2012
Pros: care for patients, collaborative environment
Cons: hr not business partners
Great place to work if you don't work in HR. Coffee is the focus of leadership in HR since they come from Starbucks and brought folks over from starbucks that do not fit the team or culture. HR is unethical, the rest of the Hospital is amazing.

Jesus – January 22, 2013

This hospital could be a good place to work but wait until management does something unethical and then try going to human resources for support and watch it back fire on you. This is a hospital that does not work to better the employee relationships or managers.

ResearchMuch – January 23, 2013

Um, the hospital has a secret pact with the City of Seattle and the Laurelhurst Community regarding parking and charges. The Union has nothing to do with it. And if you weren't in a Union, chances are you would be making 20 to 30% less than you are now.

Great place to work
Quality Assurance/Image Librarian (Current Employee), Seattle, WA – July 26, 2012
Pros: you are compensated for alternative commuting
Cons: you can't park on site.
Working for the childrens hospital is very inspiring as you see kids who are very sick but yet still have the biggest smiles on their faces. I learn so much here daily, not only in my profession but personally. The management staff always wants to know what can be done to make you job simple but yet still satisfying. The hardest part of the job is some – more... days could be overwhelming with the amount of work to be done in one day and not being able to complete all task. THe most enjoyable part of the job is we are all here to accomplish one gold and that is to help kids get well. – less
