Pros

Large organization that pays well and offers good benefits

Cons

I had a horrible experience with my direct management team. There was a period earlier this year, when they were constantly making mistakes with my schedule, causing me to miss lunches, work hours on end without breaks, and work overtime. When I would complain to my superiors, they would try to fix it, but it would happen again. Then, they started quoting me my job description, which felt condescending. I went to HR who told me that doctors and nurses burnout all time at Providence and I should just expect to work without breaks and overtime if that's what my managers were asking me to do. Front-line employees are treated as expendables because they have a large HR department that can find another poor schmuck who will be lured into working here based upon the good salary and benefits they offer. I quickly started looking for a new job.

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
