Pros

Providence Health & Services, Southern California operates five hospitals in the region, including three in the San Fernando Valley. Well respected large local employer. Fantastic Mission, Vision, Values. Highly respectable H.R. Department and its staff.

Cons

Although Providence is an overall great organization to work for, like all work environments they too have an area for improvement....Highly bureaucratic, antiquated top-down organizational structure that continue to dominate our workplace including this organization. The bureaucracy leaves many departments feeling fragmented and it impedes the organization from being able to adapt to chances that constantly take place in the healthcare arena; smaller physician owned specialty medical offices are much quicker to adapt and get the business leaving us open and vulnerable until the "real-time" activities/environment is acknowledged by the C-level. The individual I personally reported to was a great leader, kind person, highly talented and bright, I remain highly respectful to them.

Pros

coworkers pay supporting people in community They post the same job in multiple locations because they are open to having that role exist in different locations in many cases (note the pay is also based on where as well though) Info for those reading reviews to get a picture: I'm United States, but India reviews should really be separate feedback entirely, paid less and fed daily (read location: Hyderabad).

Cons

My last management was completely toxic Had health issues and a valid claim that was ignored, only pressured Was pushed out by my management when they found out my salary Mgmt requested to submit feedback for improvement, then retaliated Since HR was outsourced and trying to protect the company from further lawsuits (I was not one but contemplated due to validity) of absolutely no help and honestly, completely inappropriate. You will be repeatedly asked to provide feedback, but it will be killed with a 1 on 1. If I had laid down and taken the angry repercussions of their poor process implementation, and their complete lack of accountability, I would still be there - I just would have transferred to another manager. Some managers and teams are more toxic than others, but favoritism and bullying are allowed and seen Overworked and under-represented but was great for several years.
