Pros

The benefits and pay are good. Strong focus on improving patient care and emphasizing that every position exists to improve quality of care and access to care. Since the organization is so large it is fairly easy to change positions.

Cons

Many frequent reorganizations across the enterprise. Some were poorly thought out and thus another reorganization is spawned. Very passive aggressive organization that spends more time talking about issues than taking ownership and solving them. Human resources is very immature and poorly performing for an company of this size. The best opportunity to advance is by aligning or ingratiating yourself with leadership. In many departments performance means little.

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
