Pros

Providence is a fixture in the Northwest, providing faith-based health care for more than 150 years. It's been stable and conservative. It donates more care in the communities it serves than any other organization. The people of Providence believe in their mission. They care about each other and the organization. Up until recently, the organization cared about them, avoiding layoffs long after other health care organizations were letting people go.

Cons

After the "affiliation" with Swedish (really, the takeover of Providence and the end of any real faith basis) and the expense of installing Epic, the organization is now on a cost-cutting jihad. Upper management has been expecting too much revenue and paying themselves too much for years. Now that the reality of lower revenue is in, cutting executive bonuses isn't enough, so they have the consultants in telling them to cut people left and right. The ones left behind are doing three times as much work and morale is cracking.

Pros

coworkers pay supporting people in community They post the same job in multiple locations because they are open to having that role exist in different locations in many cases (note the pay is also based on where as well though) Info for those reading reviews to get a picture: I'm United States, but India reviews should really be separate feedback entirely, paid less and fed daily (read location: Hyderabad).

Cons

My last management was completely toxic Had health issues and a valid claim that was ignored, only pressured Was pushed out by my management when they found out my salary Mgmt requested to submit feedback for improvement, then retaliated Since HR was outsourced and trying to protect the company from further lawsuits (I was not one but contemplated due to validity) of absolutely no help and honestly, completely inappropriate. You will be repeatedly asked to provide feedback, but it will be killed with a 1 on 1. If I had laid down and taken the angry repercussions of their poor process implementation, and their complete lack of accountability, I would still be there - I just would have transferred to another manager. Some managers and teams are more toxic than others, but favoritism and bullying are allowed and seen Overworked and under-represented but was great for several years.
