Pros

Swedish is an affiliate of Providence which has an Amazing mission that resonates -Know me, Care for me, Ease my way. This is for patients and employees alike and it is a true intention they try to live out with each interaction and thought. The hospital administrators and leaders are also inspirational as well as the staff that works to create great patient care.

Cons

HR Leaders at the Swedish affiliate struggle with what true leadership is; Human Resources is not an example for Swedish leaders to follow and as an agency of advisement to the rest of the company, they should be. HR employees cannot speak up for fear of retaliation and are alone as even the highest HR level at Swedish does not recognize or perceive any problems. Stressful & unrelenting micromanagement with unrealistic expectations. The business suffers as a result of this poor management. Until there is a change in management I would not recommend Providence Swedish as a healthy place to work for any HR person looking for a job that embodies respect and care.

Pros

+The company is severely incompetent +Trauma-bonding with your co-workers will never be easier

Cons

-Toxic management culture: you'll frequently be brought into full-team meetings where the management will circle-jerk themselves, refuse to listen to team members, change random procedures, then ask why the workers want to unionize. -The company is SEVERELY incompetent: the company blows thousands of dollars on worthless things like their own in-house AI chatbot GPT clone and refuses to spend money on resources wisely while simultaneously complaining about the budget. -Abhorrently dishonest: They let me go after bringing me into a meeting to discuss "communication expectations." They then refused to allow two-party consent for recording, fired me for apparently "violating their standards of protocol", refused to allow me to stay to gather any evidence of their random firing, and refused to respond to any emails to confirm the nature of the meeting. This was ALSO the week before the management promised everyone on our team an annual raise. -Separation is a nightmare: Not only did they lie about the reason for separation before being busted by the state, but they also refuse to cash out PTO time, and HR is a nightmare to work with when confirming details for state services.
