Pros

I get paid well for my role, higher end of the industry average. Benefits are great and inexpensive. The high up leadership does a lot of employee recognition, for example free lunches/parties/barbecues. In my department, we have the option to work from home for 1 day a week.

Cons

The management is inexperienced. A lot of the time, education is valued over experience. My managers don't know how to delegate, coach, or deal with difficult issues, causing a lot of unnecessary errors because people aren't trained properly or notified when they don't meet the expectations of the recruiters. This leads to frustration for the employees who are left to pick up the slack in a VERY busy department. PTO is 15 days but that includes holidays, so you really get about half of that, which is ridiculous from a company so large.

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
