Providence reviews

Most coworkers are not helpful nor welcoming; the aire of a clique is very strong and makes new employees feel uneasy. There is no independent thought or work encourages -- management is unwavering from what they think is "the best way," regardless of whether you can show with definitive proof where improvements or changes need to be made. Protocols are relied upon heavily; however, they are not updated when things changes, leaving employees at legal risk. The medical hierarchy is encouraged and the delineation of roles is reinforced continuously; thus, teamwork is lacking because everything is always someone else's responsibility.

This place has gradually gone downhill during the times I have been in and out of this company. Things like Facilities and IT used to be in house, but Facilities for all hospitals is now part of a for-profit company, which miraculously is associated by SJH (most, if not all were previous SJH employees). IT was at one point Dell, then Blue Mountain. Blue Mountain now re-branded to DayTu (sp). Again, another for profit company. Now SJH is affiliated with Hoag Hospital ("affiliated" sounds better so it doesn't make SJH look like a for profit company). I think the hospitals would run sooo much better WITHOUT the corporate/system office. You have business people running technology projects without understanding the technological impacts, project managers/program managers/managers/directors who shouldn't even have these titles. Disaster Recovery? Nope, crappy. Now that they moved to Irvine, if only patients can see where their money went to -- game room, new furniture, etc. **sigh** worst of all, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange know that this is going on, but unfortunately there are very few active Sisters that can voice their opinions with making a great impact/change to decisions made. Someone/some governing body needs to do a financial audit on this company too. Trust me.
