St. Joseph Healthcare Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I have worked for Providence/Swedish for about 3 years and the company truly believe in its espoused values which translates into a work environment that is friendly and people-focused. Most of the leadership I have come across is great. While moving around inside the company isn't too terribly difficult, moving up is somewhat hard as people tend to stay with the company for a very long time."

"I've worked for Providence St. Joseph Health for 1.5 years. The company is making huge strides towards modernizing the healthcare industry. Their mission and contributions to the areas they serve is inspiring. Along with this change, organizational structure can often result in the elimination of a role in order to meet the needs of the organization."

"Very poor / incompetent leadership within the IT organization. Backstabbing and toxic culture. Leadership does not allow innovative or passionate discussion or disagreement. IT Managers do not listen to staff and make poor design and deployment decisions based on vendor gifts/kickbacks. Executive leadership outsources to organizations whom which they have some type of relationship. Overall, people are very nice, but you need to know that it's very difficult to trust anyone."

"Execs say one thing, then do another. They blame underlings for their inability to make strategic decisions and prioritize projects/work. One of the most underappreciated, stressful, demeaning environments I've ever worked. Be ready to get blamed.....only work here if you are desperate.Execs are incompetent, having tons of HR law suits against them - this is telling ! Beware."

"Not a bad place to work, but it does have management issues that get in the way of getting true resolution to the end-users. Should eventually get better with the long haul, but with little opportunity for advancement and management ignoring or unable to get critical issues fixed as needed, requires tons of patience. Any person who thrives on chaos will do well here."

"I have been at SJH for almost 10 years. This company has been a source of inspiration and has the core values that appeal to me and all of the people that work here as well. Though there have been major changes the company continues to value it's employees and it's mission to serve the community."

"great experience. I have worked with the company since I was 20 years old."

What do you like about working at St. Joseph Healthcare?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Since they are having a wage and hiring freeze, why bother. There are other hospitals that are hiring."

What don't you like about working at St. Joseph Healthcare?

"The Nurse Manager and the CEO of St. Joseph's don't have a clue about what Nursing is about. They have cut staffing to the bare bones, demand RNs fill in overtime slots, short change patients by not having enough CNAs on any shift and expect RNs to pick up one or more primary patients with a full load of 5, not have a break RN, put the Lead RN at risk, not have adequate lunch breaks, intimidate RNs who become sick as a result of the stress placed upon them while at work, and treat staff members like they are automatons and not humans... sometimes quite shamefully, and quite degrading."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Fire the Nurse Manager and the CEO. Hire a CEO who isn't making a million plus a year plus benefits, get a real RN Manager who understands Nursing and managing and who advocates for the staff, and who actually has a California license. Demand that Title 22 regulations be followed, to include the Grasp system for staffing, and file a Federal lawsuit against the Hospital if they refuse to follow the law. Do not accept wage freezes when St. Joseph's is spending money in other areas of the state like crazy to buy new facilities while letting its responsibilities to PVH go by the wayside... that is poor management, and does not fulfill the values they claim to espouse... Excellence, Justice, Mercy, etc."
