Theyve forgotten the mission, vision and values

Great place to work currently

I don't know what they could do better

Providence does not live up to its mission of serving the needy and vulnerable. State patients are turned away from scheduling and told to call back to check for "availability" as they are "booked out." Caregivers are told to lie to patients as state reimbursement is a lot lower than commercial ins.

    Perhaps this is true of many healthcare organizations durning these times of uncertainty... Providence culture is disconnected and ultimately there is little support trickling down from leadership. If you walk the halls of many locations, you will hear a lot of unhappiness and dissatisfaction with leadership. At this point to most of us cogs, it feels as if the leaders of this company are here to collect a comfortable paycheck and nothing more. This company is in a major financial deficit and it feels as if the leadership is going to chop off the legs so to speak, rather than take a more strategic approach to turning things around. Overall it's an unhealthy culture, and it's more of a place to collect a paycheck, have comfortable benefits and build a resume than anything else.

  • Passive aggressive. Providence nice is that you won’t hear negative feedback, people just ignore you. Lately they’ve been hiring people outside the industry making it hard to focus on industry standards.

  • I work 100% remotely and independently. I create my own schedules and tasks list which my manager has access to and we meet as needed although we have a standing meeting every two weeks. I get a whole lot of work done this way. I also have the authority to ask for the things I need from IT/Help Desk and just add my manager as a Watcher on my requests.
