PeaceHealth reviews

Dominant market share in most of the markets it operates in so there is no need to be competitive with compensation or benefits. Generous compensation for executives like Yordy but not even pegged to middle of the Portland market for labor despite what Sr. Nunsel says. Labor is actually pegged to the bottom of the Portland market. Very top heavy organization while labor is cut to the bone leaving no room for sick calls or for seasonal fluctuations in patient census. Becoming very corporate and the culture toxic. Nepotism is rampant. Very little advancement opportunity unless you are related to someone. Managers with associate degrees and even regional CEOs with only BA in business have been promoted leading to large egos with small minds making very poor decisions. Very little investment in staff development. About 208 million invested in the Oregon region shamefully small investment even by "union breaking" John HIll's estimate. HR is merely a lap dog of the administration arriving with their minds made up to bully or silence anyone with a brain and a voice. Even the elite professionals like hospitalist doctors are treated poorly and inhumane production demands are placed on them. They were threatened with an RFP and looks like the hospital administrators are going to replace them with Sound Physicians inc from Washington who was slappped with a 14.5 million dollar civil fine for billing irregularities from the department of justice over an 8 year period. Too heavy a reliance on its flag ship hospital in Springfield, OR. River bendover and Ketchme if you can in Alaska. They are the only two with healthy operating margins. the rest are all running with operating margins of 1 or less in their 9 hospital system. This is becasue they forgot about their healing mission and tried to grow too fast too soon. Every executive seems to think doctors and nurses and support staff are stupid and ignorant because the quality and quantity of double talk is insulting. They want top quaity employees but don't want to pay for it, train or even support them. They want "maximum flexibility." Get ready to bend over.

The food sucks... mostly old.. the hospital went to crap after peacehealth took over.. environmental services is the cleaning portion of the hospital. . They cut most employees hours but expect them to do 17 hours of work in a 7 hour shift.. if you dont put the numbers up.. they use fake policies to write you up to legally suspend you to were you dont get help from the state.. even with a workers comp claim.. I didnt get any help from L&i because they way they did paperwork... said it happen in the family birth center at clark college. .in vancouver... at 1am... I have never seen a class at a college let alone someone in a vacant class at 1am... they lie about alot.. they screw their employees. . They black ball employees from getting other jobs that pay better in other departments even though you get degrees or certifications.. the benifits suck.. they have the cities in their back pocket where they are located.... I used to love my job there.. but after all the negative that I saw and no help from the state even with legal proof and documentation. .. my advice.. go somewhere else...... if people remember... this is part of the reason peacehealth lost the kaiser contract to legacy.. they had the contract for 13 years.. lost it 6 months after peacehealth took over... also.. with lay offs... its funny.. the ceo makes over a million a year.took a pay cut for 60k a year... dont forget your oil change on your yellow lamborghini joe... they have acting directors from multiple states flying in and out weekely.. people wonder why 170 plus got laid off within a week
