Pros
Difficult to be fired if you are even passably competent. Or if you are incompetent, in which case you are likely to be promoted.
Cons
Providence is positioning itself to become the Walmart of healthcare, with little to no regard for its employees, no interest in process improvements, and priorities of growth and brand over service and quality. Millions are invested in sponsorships and mergers while its employees become increasing dissatisfied and the basic framework of its logistical organization continues to crumble. The exteriors of the buildings are painted and renovated while the workspaces of the employees deteriorate. Management outspokenly ignored the advice of paid outside consultants while still demanding the results the consultants estimated could be achieved by those changes. Reluctantly playing catch-up to the rest of the industry in terms of compensation and benefits, while discouraging unionization.
