Pros

You 'll receive almost average pay for being a phlebotomist, you'll join a union, within departments people are friendly to each other, mostly.

Cons

I'm fairly certain they are more interested in profits than in medicine. The nice atmosphere impedes proper critiquing and accountability. They also have violations against them impeding Govt funding. In a ranking of 3000 hospitals, they made the bottom 1/5, or in other words they were among the worst 600 hospitals nationwide.

Pros

(This is for Providence St Vincent Medical Center in PDX) - staffing ratios - break nurses - ONA union - coworkers on my unit are very helpful and kind (can’t speak for every unit though)

Cons

- upper management hates the nursing union - we are short on many supplies on weekend night shifts - crappy insurance - my unit’s manager is almost never there, they’re always on vacation or working remote. This makes our manager very out of touch with the unit’s needs
