Leaders not competent at some levels

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Sense of working for something greater due to its mission.

Cons

If you are ok with a "Lifestyle" job and you are OK with just being able to perform "ok" work then this may be the place fore you. But, do not expect understanding for "excellence" which is supposed to be a core value of this organization. They allow poor performers to stay in the organization and suck it dry of productivity. The people who do perform well, get assigned more and more work, with little "sincere" recognition. The Leaders are not competent at some levels and nothing is done about it. So the employees suffer though the lack of clear direction and ability to command respect.

Pros

Reputable Company with high aspirations for growth. Good quality staff that are knowledgeable and caring. Most of staff is very supportive toward each other and willing to give help when needed. Getting time off when needed is almost never an issue. Monthly self-scheduling policy. Charge nurses are "hands-on", very skilled, and there within seconds when called into a rapid response situation. Good rapport between MD's and RN's.

Cons

Seems most of the downside started when this specific hospital became part of Providence and no longer an independent hospital. (Believe me, I realize the bottom line is incredibly important. But it should NEVER be above patient safety. Management is very visible, but not truly available. Criticism is not accompanied by support or means by which to remedy problem. All staff members are not held to the same rules, standards, and expectations. (Favoritism is inevitable, but should not be so obvious.)
