Working at Providence Health & Services in Spokane, WA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Spokane, WA Area

"I've worked for Providence for 2 years, and in those 2 years have not been able to justify my continued employment with them. The hospital has a very cloak and dagger feel about all of the processes around employment, promotion, and any management process. Intra department relations are okay, but inter department relations could use work (It'd sure be nice to have HUCS to help with that). However, since most people only react with people inside their department this is okay with everyone, and most enjoy most of the people they work immediately with. Unfortunately this has led the majority of them to confuse a good place to work with a good hospital. This makes it hard to bring corrections or new ideas to peoples' attention because everyone is sure everything is fine, and then you become the problem for pointing it out. We used to be run by nuns and still have church decorations everywhere, so everyone assumes we must be good, but it definitely seems for show when more time/money is spent on decorations than practicing the values. For now I'm biding my time, but being ranked in the bottom 1/6 of hospitals I don't feel comfortable lingering too long. (Also the pay is on par with average, thanks to the union, not great, not bad.)"
