Vantaggi
Providence is focused on fulfilling their mission of providing excellent and quality health care for all, including the poor and vulnerable through the application of their core values, of respect, compassion, justice, excellence and stewardship. It is reflected throughout all departments including non-patient care areas. It is a pleasure to work for a company that fosters a work environment that encourages and supports excellence. Continuing education in your field of expertise is expected and funded up to $1500/yr. The benefit package is excellent. The collaboration opportunities amongst the Providence Oregon hospitals allows the best practice models to be spread and shared regionally. The brightest and best work for Providence! It's a great place to share and strengthen your areas of expertise and knowledge.
Svantaggi
In IT an employee who has a clinical background can earn more money than the non-clinical analyst even when the non-clinical analyst has much more advanced IT analytical skills. Very frustrating, especially if the clinician simply has a Bachelor's degree. Doesn't seem fair when they walk into the same position you've been doing for 5 years and they have no experience in it but are paid more money than you are.
