Providence has been good to me

Pros

Lots of opportunities to move up if you work hard and want it. Had some of my best managers/directors/bosses here at Providence who pushed me in the most positive ways. Really appreciated the team cultures that I have been part of so far. The pay is fair for those in Program/Project Management, especially for a Healthcare System. You have to ask for it though when you first get the job. Providence is also very work from home friendly. I've worked from home since Covid and we're never going back into mandatory office stations. I do sometimes have to work over 40 hours a week especially when projects deploy, but the work life balance overall is great. Overall great co-workers.

Cons

The benefits could be better. You have to use your PTO to get paid for any holidays. The health insurance benefits aren't great either (you have to pay quite a bit to insure yourself and your family; i.e. compared to Kaiser where they covered my entire family for free). The HR overall is outsourced to the Philippines and they are not very helpful at all. 401k matching is pretty minimal. I do sometimes have to work over 40 hours a week especially when projects deploy, but the work life balance overall is great. There is a definite switch to outsourcing jobs to India which it feels like they often try to hide but everyone already knows. Raises are very minimal; it's considered great if you get 3% a year. Does not seem to be bonus structures for PMO folks unless you are a Manager level or higher.

Pros

Great staff. Great experience. Growth and maturity. Time management. Great preparation to be an RN - the best NURSES were first PCTS.

Cons

I love Providence and the staff- but the pay is so bare minimum for the work we do. If I didn’t love my job and caring for people, I would go somewhere else. The benefits are great but take a decent amount out of my paycheck every 2 weeks. Our floor tries to keep safe staffing ratios but when 3/4 PCTS are on the floor- we all get 11-12 patients. Some floors have even worse ratios. And the nurses expect the same level of care as when we are 7-8 patients. I do my very best but at the end of the day, the lay needs to increase a solid 6-10$. The nurses are making a good chunk of change and the PCTS (who are also licensed (average program cost is 1-3,000$ depending where)) are barely making it by. Why wouldn’t someone else just go to McDonald’s or become a server and make more?? Anyways I LOVE my job but just wish the pay was better! Also I would be more inclined to pick up extra shifts if I could come in for less than 12 hours. RNS are able to come in for any allotted time they desire for OT but CNAs are require to do a FULL 12 if they want to pick up overtime. 4 days a week with a job as demanding as ours isn’t so inviting.

Pros

I really can't think of many. I worked with some intelligent people.

Cons

This religious organization has actively repressed healthcare access to women seeking abortions, to death with dignity, and to a single-payer system. They are profit-driven and limit services to the poor and vulnerable. They definitely do more harm than good.
