Pros

None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Bupkis.

Cons

Where do I start? * Crammed office that caused illnesses to linger forever or spread quickly - thank goodness I was out of there pre-COVID. * Hilariously, despite being part of a major insurance provider, their health insurance is terrible. May as well not have even existed. * Providence means Providence St. Joseph - which means it's religious to the nth. You are *EXPECTED* to perform community service that is in some way religiously-related - and to *THEIRS*, not yours. It wasn't outright said that failing to do so would jeopardize employment - at least, not in writing. * If you are LGBTQ+, do not even bother - you are not part of their company culture, you are not part of their religion and you are not a person to them. The bosses are even worse - caught several times uttering slurs. * Interview process had nothing to do with my actual job whatsoever. * I came down with pinkeye on a Monday morning, and due to how contagious it is, I asked to be able to see a doctor at 9AM and come in if I was negative (I wasn't) as my shift didn't start till 10AM. My boss' response was to immediately fire me over Slack without cause. I hate to use negative language, let alone crude language, but seriously, _ _ _ _ this place. There are much better places to work for that AREN'T forcing you into their toxicity.

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
