Pros

The personality of the majority of the employees.

Cons

There is pretty much to much to list, insurance benefits, pay, not treated equally, some employees asked to do to much and getting no help and also no extra pay for it, they don't listen when there is a complaint, it gets swept under the rug, it doesn't do any good to go to HR, HR does not keep employees name confidential when there is a complaint filed, I'll stop with this, it give you an idea and a warning, I can go on and on.

Pros

Good people in general staff

Cons

Incompetent, disorganized management. As far getting hired, if you're young and attractive or a comedian, then you've got a good shot. Maturity, professionalism, and great job performance are not appreciated. Recent cutbacks to staffing, compensation, and benefits were blamed on preparing for the new healthcare law - the effects of which no one knows yet. However the hospital continues to invest heavily in growing their network of care facilities in order to maintain their dominance in the western NC area and continue fending off Carolinas Healthcare.

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.
