Pros

The staff level of employees make sincere efforts to support the mission and each other. Benefits and wages are comparable to other local institutions, although not at the top of the scale.

Cons

The visions and desires of the upper level executives are not reflected in the behaviors and actions of the department managers who seem to be more interested in maintaining and displaying their "power" over the staff. There is little opportunity for advancement or movement into different fields with jobs being filled with friends and family.

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
