Great coworkers. Lack of Pay. Lack of support. Terrible HR. Providence take over ruined St Joseph Culture

Case manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Staff is typically competent and team oriented.

Cons

Due to Providence buying St Joseph there is a major culture shift and many people leaving. It went from supportive to bureaucratic overnight. A major issues is there no longer HR on campus. All grievances including simple things like fixing an error on a paycheck goes through a call center that cannot directly forward you to HR (wherever they are). For example, it took 6 wks and SEVERAL attempts to get them to fix an error they made on my paycheck. This is a small example of the daily hurdles. Without HR it’s almost impossible to discuss pay, grievances, disability, etc. I quit due to the serious lack of support and lack of pay. For the same job at another hospital my pay went up $13k a year. The managers tell staff they can’t help because they too have no support.

A big step up from agency work! Great company but management and culture varies by program

Licensed mental health therapist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay, well-defined role as a group therapist, supports individuality and creativity in what you bring to the table, skilled, compassionate and professional coworkers

Cons

Big corporation, inconsistent culture/management between programs, very medical model (therapists often fall at the bottom of the totem pole, under social workers) I have worked on several of the area psychiatric units and have experienced variability unit-by-unit in terms of organization/flow/communication, advocacy/support /inclusion for therapy teams, and general culture. This is important to my work well-being so I have developed preferences for certain units. If My advice to any job seeker is to ask about this in the interviews, connect with an existing employee for an insider's perspective, and trust your instincts around "vibe."

Senior recruiter

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you work with are great.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch. They don't care about their employees they only use them until they're done with them. They lay off masses of people every year without fail. They are trying to grow to fast and the employees are just damaged collateral that is thrown to the curb when Providence acquirers new business they can't afford to buy.
