Providence reviews

There is no room for growth in this company, and if you do get a new job, the raise they give you laughable. There is no way to get a raise, other than during your annual review, and the maximum you could get was does not even keep up with the cost of living. But if you take a look at the Lund report, the executives are living a life of luxury. The benefits have become terrible in the last few years, and they even took a day of PTO away from their employees. They take care of the community, but not their own employees.

IS Project managers should be allowed to be advocates for their business customers but because they report up through IS they are expected to cover up issues and wait for them to work themselves out. It's seen to be more palatable that a project manager be run over by the bus then an application analyst or system engineer as an example. It's been demonstrated that management tolerates disrepectful behavior towards project managers (i.e. cursing, hanging up on). Project managers are the scape goats at this company. Also, the good ol' boys club exists here and the female leadership demonstrate the Queen Bee syndrome. I was once told by a female leader that to be respected and valued I needed to say as little as possible to convey my message because that is how men communicate.
