Pros

Strong mission and values. Strategically positioned (3rd largest non profit healthcare company in United States) for growth in the future. Interesting opportunities.

Cons

For corporate employees - extremely challenging to get things done given rate of change. Lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities. Focus on "espousing" rather than "living" vision. Has gone about the change process in an unstructured way creating confusion, lack of accountability, and frustration among caregivers (Providence name for employees). Extremely political with too many layers.

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
