Pros

Pay is great. The people i work with are friendly and majority of the providers are humble and easy to talk with, when they do talk to you. Benefits are better than surrounding medical facilities.

Cons

Want to do everything that a certified medical assistant is supposed to but without a lic. ? Apply to be a PCC. Patient care coordinator. Whether it be taking blood pressure and vitals on a patient, telling patients about their lab work, pending medication refills to the provider and associating lab orders with diagnoses . No experience required you can do it all! No state lic. Sometimes I wonder what I am even needed for. The MA roll doesn't get a lot of respect, or aknowledge-ment.

Pros

New grad program hires into exciting units. High acuity patients are challenging in a way I love. Nursing staff are very smart and competent.

Cons

The union is too big to be successful and the pay is downright ridiculous. Even if Swedish was a good work environment, the money alone makes it impossible to stay afloat and save for a house and other basic necessities in the long term. I can barely pay 1 bedroom apartment rent. Unfortunately, you will never have the staff, equipment, or support you need to provide your patients with care they deserve. Swedish has been hit by a mass exodus following poor treatment of staff, medieval level pay, and management that is tone-deaf at best, and completely incompetent at worst. When doctors try to intervene on the behalf of nurses, they are told to “stay in their lanes.” Management asks what will keep nursing staff? Nurses all say we need fair compensation, and it falls on deaf ears. I get texts about 3 times a day asking to come in for overtime because we’re so short.

Good entry salary, but then freezes pretty much

Cons

Another round of layoffs and mass department closing 550 + losing jobs Great long term employees leaving can get perfect reviews for years on end and tomorrow, sorry position eliminated Every two years layoffs are eminent at holiday time
