Pros

The organization does a great job of communicating and reiterating its mission. I worked with many great people there. Longevity with people at lower-end roles is amazing.

Cons

Salaries aren't anywhere near market rate. The people who stay are the people who care. I cared, until I couldn't pay my rent anymore. Middle management isn't empowered to lead/coach, just "manage", which creates strife among the worker bees. Picture the boss in Office Space with the coffee cup (Lumbergh) - then combine that with long hours and severely low pay.

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
