Employees are undervalued. Part of your compensation is supposed to be feeling good about where you work. - Anonymous employee Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics Employee Review

You're expected to consider yourself lucky to work at such a well-respected institution. Absolutely no chance of moving up from within. You must leave and then return in order to get a promotion of any type despite any education you gain. I've worked here for 10 years and am finishing up my MBA. Members of my class have said they were actually told by HR that the education we gained while employed here is worthless in our application for promoted positions. They would consider someone from outside the institution before someone from within. Major difference in viewpoints of people who have been here less than 5 years and those who've been here over 5 years. 5 years seems to be the point at which you are exposed to the rotten, ugly underbelly that is the good ol' boys political network of CMH. The happy, glossy facade hides an ugly, horrible, political minefield. Welcome to hell my friends. Advice to those who want to work here: get in, get your education, get out within 5 years...period.
