Pros

Staff is typically competent and team oriented.

Cons

Due to Providence buying St Joseph there is a major culture shift and many people leaving. It went from supportive to bureaucratic overnight. A major issues is there no longer HR on campus. All grievances including simple things like fixing an error on a paycheck goes through a call center that cannot directly forward you to HR (wherever they are). For example, it took 6 wks and SEVERAL attempts to get them to fix an error they made on my paycheck. This is a small example of the daily hurdles. Without HR it’s almost impossible to discuss pay, grievances, disability, etc. I quit due to the serious lack of support and lack of pay. For the same job at another hospital my pay went up $13k a year. The managers tell staff they can’t help because they too have no support.

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
