Pros

Good wages, due only to union pressure. Decent benefits, but could be better considering it is a hospital after all.

Cons

This place is run by incompetent workers who have been promoted to managers solely on seniority and not based on any experience or leadership skills. This results in people who mistreat their employees and "boss them around". If it weren't for the unions in the hospital the work conditions would be even more deplorable for those in the lower-end jobs such kitchen, cleaning and possibly nurses and nurses' assistants. After what I've witnessed as an employee I will not even go there as a patient.

Pros

Many managers are relaxed, uniforms are provided (can be a pro or con), many patients perceive Swedish as a "good place to go".

Cons

Since the Providence takeover, Swedish has been transparently profit-motivated, cutting staff and department budgets to the detriment of patient care. Everything is decided through a convoluted bureaucracy that drags simple things out. Upper management is clueless about the needs and realities of bedside staff.
