Providence Reviews

Cons

I love my job and my company. managers always so great

Cons

Never worked, but I feel obligated to share how impersonal and disrespectful the interview process went for me. I've been asked to interview for two positions there, and both were atrocious. For the first interview, I was emailed a link to schedule my interview, and after doing so, I was sent a confirmation email, but it did not contain an email address to a human should issues arise. I needed to reschedule my interview, and thus was not able to. For my second interview, an email address for an HR rep was included. I hopped onto my online interview at the scheduled time, but the hiring manager did not arrive by ten minutes past that time. I clicked the link in the confirmation email to reschedule, and after rescheduling online, I emailed the HR rep to let her know that nobody arrived and I'd rescheduled. I received no response to that email. Two days before my new interview, the interview was cancelled with no explanation as to why. Saying that this was irritating is an understatement, I will never consider Providence, and I have shared this horrendous experience with so many friends and family.

Cons

The benefits could be better. You have to use your PTO to get paid for any holidays. The health insurance benefits aren't great either (you have to pay quite a bit to insure yourself and your family; i.e. compared to Kaiser where they covered my entire family for free). The HR overall is outsourced to the Philippines and they are not very helpful at all. 401k matching is pretty minimal. I do sometimes have to work over 40 hours a week especially when projects deploy, but the work life balance overall is great. There is a definite switch to outsourcing jobs to India which it feels like they often try to hide but everyone already knows. Raises are very minimal; it's considered great if you get 3% a year. Does not seem to be bonus structures for PMO folks unless you are a Manager level or higher.

Cons

We are often short handed and overworked. Even though they provide fantastic education and training opportunities, I have found it difficult to move up and many of my co-workers have had the same issues. They will help pay for a nursing degree and not hire the new grad nurse. It's strange and doesn't make financial sense.

Cons

I love Providence and the staff- but the pay is so bare minimum for the work we do. If I didn’t love my job and caring for people, I would go somewhere else. The benefits are great but take a decent amount out of my paycheck every 2 weeks. Our floor tries to keep safe staffing ratios but when 3/4 PCTS are on the floor- we all get 11-12 patients. Some floors have even worse ratios. And the nurses expect the same level of care as when we are 7-8 patients. I do my very best but at the end of the day, the lay needs to increase a solid 6-10$. The nurses are making a good chunk of change and the PCTS (who are also licensed (average program cost is 1-3,000$ depending where)) are barely making it by. Why wouldn’t someone else just go to McDonald’s or become a server and make more?? Anyways I LOVE my job but just wish the pay was better! Also I would be more inclined to pick up extra shifts if I could come in for less than 12 hours. RNS are able to come in for any allotted time they desire for OT but CNAs are require to do a FULL 12 if they want to pick up overtime. 4 days a week with a job as demanding as ours isn’t so inviting.

Cons

Has gone much more corporate and cut throat. Managers are in survival mode and are not serving their members. Leadership paid very high salaries but don't bring resulting values, nor do they support organizational core values.

Cons

-The goals of the organization will always take precedence over the needs of the patients -The organization constantly does lay offs and reductions in force. The latest waves of layoffs was to provide justification to outsource cheap labor from India -Toxic leadership runs rampant and is protected by other toxic leadership -Leadership would rather find someone to blame than improve services -The organization has caused massive amounts of patients to be rescheduled for treatments because of its decisions to outsource its IT infrastructure to third parties to save a dime -Reprisal and discrimination are defended and swept under the rug by the HR department. The person with the "liability" will be removed from the organization one way or another -Salaried employees are abused beyond their state laws and work ethics.

Cons

Large Company equals high level of politics. Nothing happens quickly. expect a minimum of two years for any significant action to take place. Not for Profit so not the highest pay in the industry.

Cons

Slow moving pay raises Leadership positions tend to be given to thiis who know the the right people instead of the ones who work hard/are qualified

Cons

No paid holidays- You have to use your own PTO
