Providence reviews

"Feast or famine" waves of patient census. Sometimes impossibly heavy workload/sometimes not enough work. Lack of racial diversity in non-support roles and upper echelons. Strong resistance to corporate change from the top down made transitions harder and more complicated than they needed to be. Tight-knit cliques of long-term employees, some of whom were close personal friends of managment. There was an "in crowd" in this office. Gossip by some employees about others was upsetting to overhear and inhibited communication and a sense of inclusion. Favoritism in hiring - friends of employees and known entities took priority. Management seemed quite uncomfortable bringing in people from outside the fray. Very casual environment/verging on unprofessional: strongly opinionated political conversations taking place around you. Noisy open plan office with lots of chatter. Inappropriate conversations (ex: zero sexual harrassment but sexual topics) for workplace. Boob-flashing, as a joke, but still....

Not all but many of the positions in my area are just BS jobs. They provide no value and can easily be performed by others that have little to do. Leadership is so focused on their bonus they can care less about the development of their caregivers or if these caregivers provide any real value to the organization. The mission is central to many of the lower level caregivers and only a requirement for most of management. They have regularly scheduled RIFs to remove members of the team that managers no longer want to manage. This is an excellent example of how the leaders lack leadership and are only there for their own advancement. So many great people have been shown the door over the years.
