Pros
There is a feeling of comraderee amongst employees. Most employees see patient care as a team effort. Vacation accruals are excellent from the start and increase the longer you are there.
Cons
The CEO makes $1.27 million a year yet Peacehealth laid off 177 employees last year. Pay is not competitive and raises are not performance based with only a 2% raise for all employees for the last two years. A patient access representative starting pay is only $13.07 per hour while Kaiser starts at $17. Too many responsibilities are placed on each employee making it nearly impossible to achieve performance within the mission and values of the company. Employees have to cut corners to get the job done and work through their breaks. But don't report not getting a break or you will be punished with a write up.
