Advice to Management
"It starts with yes."
but no one ever follows up , or actually means yes.
Clinical staff is amazing, but I have never seen more incompetence amongst supervisors and mid-level management. SCH has a culture of placing blame and deferring responsibility to others.
There is little to no accountability for supervisors/ directors and management receive too much of a bonus for a non-profit.
Please place more value on your front line staff. There are far too many employees in management, and too few on the front lines.

Pros
Great mission - improving children's health and performing ground breaking research. Medical and Dental benefits are some of the best coverage at a Seattle employer. Employees get a transportation bonus for using transit.
Cons
Research staff are siloed with little collaboration between centers
- Research staff can sometimes feel like an after thought when company wide policies are instituted.
- Research admin staff are pigeon holed to one size fits all cubicles
- Slow to respond ergonomic support for research staff
- Retirement match is low as compared to other employees
Advice to Management
Directors : Don't put managers in positions they are not qualified for
- Listen to staff, they have good ideas
- Be considerate to staff who may have longer tenure than they do
- Encourage all staff to be leaders
