      The most sane senior management team in health care

      Pros

      Very stable and very logical. There is a lot of focus on the mission which is good but ultimately, it's all about business at Providence. This is good since decisions are very logical and methodical. Providence also implements very well. Right now they are still growing up from being a Portland HMO and figuring out what they want to be

      Cons

      Since the company is still trying to grow up from being a Portland HMO, they are not realistic about new endeavors and resourcing them. My main complaint is the lack of opportunity and movement. Since they are lean, they really can't train anyone on a new position. It's a very boomer culture where the expectation is that everyone stays at their job for 10 years and they seem shocked when someone wants new opportunity after being there for 4 years.

      Great company and industry but red tape abound

      Pros

      - balance of work and life outside - decent pay if you get in at good level - good people

      Cons

      - always behind the curve on technology - office environment work is not very exciting here - constantly being smothered with religious material, emails, and other catholic centric stuff - preaching diversity but really only recognizing catholosism - all upper management are fossils. No new young talent leading this company - more red tape and forms, committees etc. every year making things take a very long time to do - censored environment, you always have to watch what you say.

      Good benefits, but watch out for the middle management.

      Pros

      The benefits for employees were very competitive based on what I've been offered elsewhere, or what friends and family tell me they have provided by their employers. Also, there are many wonderful employees, providing excellent patient care.

      Cons

      The middle managers in many departments seem to only care about how they look to Admin. Providence management overall makes a big deal about listening to employee feedback, but nothing really ever made a difference in my department. Our direct manager would ask for our opinions, then do exactly as she desired anyway, even when everyone under her presented a mostly united front for or against some proposed change. Most of the managers there do not actually have to do the job task they now oversee and have no idea anymore what direct patient care is actually like, even though they make the decisions about best care practices and staffing levels.
