PeaceHealth says they care about you and the community, but their actions speak louder than words. At the end of the day you are just a number, and a disposable one at that...all in the name of profit.
The only way to get raises is to switch positions - period. They will not take into account prior experience (even internal experience) when evaluating your salary for a new position. The salary calculation seems arbitrary at best, as you will run into situations where you train a freshie who is making more than you, even though you have more time at the company and in the field in general. At one point after several years of measly 2-3% raises, we were told raises would start getting calculated based on performance. When the time came for performance reviews we were then told "Anyone who meets expectations can expect the same 2-3% raise you have always had, those who do not meet expectations will not get a raise."
Your job is not safe at PeaceHealth. Management/Director level staff are not in touch with the inner works/dealings of the executives. Your entire department may get laid off, and if they don't - expect to have every last drop of productivity squeezed out of you.
PeaceHealth has been following a trend of layoffs and downsizing for some time, along with upper management and execs jumping ship. Great place to work for 1-3 years, beyond that - take your loyalty someplace else. It is not reciprocated.
