Providence reviews

Patient safety is core to everything you do at Providence. This aspect of working with them is highly motivational. Providence is a religious organization with a long history (over 100 years) of providing services from a catholic perspective so don't expect family planning services any time soon. That being said, the hospitals are well run and the new focus on elder care is a perfectly timed entry into an undeserved market with tight margins (clients with fixed incomes). Away from the line of business (nearer the corporate offices in Renton) is where the political infighting frequently gets out of control. As long as you are a professional healthcare provider and avoid the management chain, you will find this to be a rewarding place to work.

The organization's 150-year Catholic heritage and mission and core values (respect, compassion, justice, excellence, stewardship) are taken seriously and understood by all, and are sources of pride and commitment. Work/life balance is strong and without lots of over-night travel and pesky, unnecessary meetings. PH&S is a very stable employer, rarely (if ever) in it's history having a significant layoff. Overall, personnel are very friendly and get along well. The benefits package is strong with several nice perks for full- or near-full time employees (i.e., free yearlong transit pass; free parking at most facilities; subsidized meals and pharmacy products etc.).
