Pros

Good experience for interns to 'learn the field.' Benefits were diminished when I was there, are not as good as they were.

Cons

To only pay for 5 holidays a year is one of the lowest in town. Why would a supposed Christian organization not consider Easter a holiday? Work-Life balance was nearly impossible in the department I worked in, as you were expected to do whatever it took to get the work done if the census went up. (In other words, work several hours a week off the clock). To use the word 'leadership' to describe the management in my old department is overstating it. They were bullies, quite comfortable with yelling at employees, doing illegal and unethical things to either fire someone or to 'convince' them to quit. The idea was 'All of you people are expendable; you are SO lucky to be working at an organization as wonderful as Providence, so you had BETTER do what we say at all times, even when we contradict ourselves. AND you'd better smile and LIKE it.'

Pros

Great co-workers. Most were really sharp and eager to assist. I really believe in the overall mission of the health system. Interaction with the Sister's and understanding what they had accomplished was great. Overall compensation was good. Lots of training opportunities and good retirement benefits.

Cons

Management has no clue what they are doing. Direction changes and failed implementations are par for the course. The new CIO is clueless on how to run an organization.
