Company is all talk. Don't drink the Kool Aid.

Pros

The large system provided access to a lot of tools and resources that made it easier to get things done. Compassion is evident throughout system.

Cons

No local control, decisions are made by disconnected regional or system executives. Limited staff training opportunities; low pay; marginal benefits. A lot of talk but very little action and follow through. Weak local management due to system overreach.

Pros

There have been great staff to work for tg at are dedicated to excellence in patient care.

Cons

The focus of executive leadership has shifted from the mission of the sisters to the financial bottom line. Providence niw only gives lip service with regard to valuing employees when in the past they truly honored and respected employees.

Pros

Great clients, some great co-workers, team approach, mission driven. For salaried employees time is flexible and supervisors are very accomodating.

Cons

If you are working in a Providence facility or "ministry" as they call them, it's very hard to get promoted to the regional or corporate offices. In the facilities so many employees stay for so long---which can be good---however many of them are beyond burnt out and it seems the Providence way is that if someone is a problem in one department they just move them to another. Not much mentoring going on and not much building up of collegues.
