Pros

Inspiring history. Five Sisters of Providence brought healthcare and education to the Pacific NW over a century ago. Some Sisters of Providence still work there and are as inspiring as their history. These are some of the finest women one can ever meet.

Cons

The management of the organization is now in the hands of a group of administrators, some with great vision, others mean-spirited and self-promotional. Politics is hip deep. Back-stabbing is the norm. Though they speak of carrying out the values of the most admirable founders, they fall far short. It is also difficult for right-minded people to work in a organization that wants to take over healthcare in order to impose religious prejudices on others.

Pros

When I first became ill, Providence was very helpful. And they were pretty accommodating, too.

Cons

As soon as they realized that I had a permanent medical condition, they disengaged from the situation. All the support melted away. The accommodations became less and less helpful. The company they use to manage FMLA and other related accommodations badly mismanaged my case, which Providence expressed regret for, but which ultimately changed nothing. They offered me no alternatives, and no other positions or options were ever provided. I was forced to choose between my health, or my job. If you choose to work for Providence, which, in good conscience, I cannot recommend, please be sure you are in good health, and have NO disabilities. Regardless what a company claims as a policy, it's what they actually do that matters. Providence doesn’t walk their talk.

Pros

For me, it was 10 minutes from my old house. So solely convenience and practicality, nothing more or less. I came from Legacy Health to reduce my 3-hour round-trip work commute, which I did for 3 years. I stayed with Bridgeport Immediate Care Clinic for almost 9 months, an unbearable mistake in my career of 12 years as a bedside nurse.

Cons

1. Bullying, backbiting, and low morale at Bridgeport Immediate Care Clinic. 2. Very unprofessional nurse manager - loud, crude, rude, and uncaring of staff, focused on 'advancing' ahead. Medium fish in a very little pond power syndrome. 3. Unprofessional group of physician assistant providers. I've worked in various states and abroad as an international travel nurse and have yet to meet a more hideous, shameful group of individuals. 4. Politics, politics, politics and more politics. 5. High levels of unnecessary drama, often manufactured by a select few, a long-term medical assistant in particular.
