Pros

Our core mission and so many big hearted co-workers.

Cons

Poor middle/lower management (allowed to stay in position way too long), upper management and HR support lower management without regard for employees, pay based on longevity and not merit resulting in very low pay raises. Relatively no chance for advancement, promotions given to "yes" people in place of the much more qualified, resulting in the poor management cycle. Behind on the tech side of business. Benefits not what they used to be.

Pros

(This is for Providence St Vincent Medical Center in PDX) - staffing ratios - break nurses - ONA union - coworkers on my unit are very helpful and kind (can’t speak for every unit though)

Cons

- upper management hates the nursing union - we are short on many supplies on weekend night shifts - crappy insurance - my unit’s manager is almost never there, they’re always on vacation or working remote. This makes our manager very out of touch with the unit’s needs
