Pros

There is some amazing talent here. Worked with some incredibly driven and creative people.

Cons

Nepotism and cronyism has elevated some of the less talented and more socially awkward into positions of middle management leadership where they shouldn't be. There are exceptions of course.

Extremely Oppressive Environment, Like Big Brother from 1984.

Pros

The only pro right now is that I work with an exceptional group of colleagues.

Cons

Compensation is stagnant. Longevity pay has been discontinued and this comes on the heels of our paid time off accrual having been frozen on three separate occasions. No cost of living increase. No performance increase this year and I'm pretty sure the managers were told to "dumb it down" because I've always gotten "exceeds expectations" in the past. This was the first year ever that I got "meets expectations." CEO loves himself a great deal and has a phobia of fat people. He wants everyone to be slim and trim and is tailoring the health insurance policy to discriminate against anyone who does not subscribe to what he believes is healthy living. There is no privacy in health records. Employees must now choose a Mission provider, not just an "In Network" provider but a Mission provider. This means your employer is your your doctor and your insurance provider. No privacy whatsoever when it comes to your health records. If you don't participate in the "healthy living" and disease management programs then you pay more for insurance. You have to be a puppet on a string to be a Mission employee.

Pros

The only time in my 14 year experience working for Providence that the employees were treated well, was when the department was outsourced and run by companies other than Providence.

Cons

They do not treat their employees equally. They fire long time employees making more money, and keep employees making less, even if they are not meeting standard requirements to keep their jobs. They give too much power to leads, and management is not consistent with their employees. You are treated as a number, and work loads are manipulated to make it impossible to reach goals in order to keep your job. You don't know those that work around you, as you are unable to socialize in any capacity, even if you are asking work related questions.
