Pros

Flexible work schedule. Sense of working for something greater due to its mission.

Cons

If you are ok with a "Lifestyle" job and you are OK with just being able to perform "ok" work then this may be the place fore you. But, do not expect understanding for "excellence" which is supposed to be a core value of this organization. They allow poor performers to stay in the organization and suck it dry of productivity. The people who do perform well, get assigned more and more work, with little "sincere" recognition. The Leaders are not competent at some levels and nothing is done about it. So the employees suffer though the lack of clear direction and ability to command respect.

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
