Pros

It is a big hospital system. Hospital system is owned by Providence. Both Swedish and Providence have multiple locations which is nice if you're not sure where you would like to settle down or are the kind of person who moves around a lot.

Cons

does not compensate employees and staff well. Every time a new contract is to be negotiated this company tries its hardest to undercut their staff and employees in order to line pockets of hospital administration and cut costs. For example just this year (2020) it took over a year to negotiate a new contract for Swedish/Providence employees. Frustrated employees were pushed to the point of having to go on a total strike. Thousands of employees picketed on the streets of Seattle in January of 2020 to fight against Swedish/Providence.

Pros

Residency Program for new RNs

Cons

The amount of work you do for the amount you get paid is horrible. This year, 2020, has been terrible. The acuity of our patients is extremely high and we’ve gotten no hazard pay for COVID exposure. I didn’t even get fit tested for N95 masks until November. We’re forced to wear the same level one surgical mask the entire shift... I’ll let that sit for a minute. No wonder the turnover rate is so high- a negative for both current staff and patients.

Pros

The union makes the pay fair. Management attempts to be helpful but are usually pressured by their higher ups to cut budgets. They tend to stick with their staffing grids so you're not unexpectedly taking patients out of your normal ratio.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch. Negative changes since Providence bought them. Eliminated the IV team. Cut corners wherever necessary.
