CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant (Current Employee) – Vancouver, WA – January 13, 2018
I work in the critical care unit. my manager is awesome, he tries to look out for employees. the higher ups seem like they don't care about staff members, I mean if a nursing staff leaves, there is always a new grad to take there place for a lower pay.
Pharmacy Technician (Current Employee) – Vancouver, WA – April 4, 2018
Training is useless communication is nonexistent Nurses are clueless Management doesn't care about technicians (blame culture) Schedules are never consistent (everyone works random shifts constantly)
Imaging Supervisor (Current Employee) – Vancouver, WA – February 16, 2018
PeaceHealth's greatest asset is its caregivers, they work so hard to care for the patient. PH Mission and Values are central to the work done. They provide a service to the underprivileged in the community that no one else in the community does.
Clinical Dietitian (Former Employee) – Vancouver, WA – January 1, 2018
A dietitian's perspective. PH is a great place to get your feet wet in clinical experience and gain vast knowledge of nutrition support. Unfortunately, they tend to be too tightly regulated and micromanaged. Management has no idea what inpatient dietitians actually do. Pay is not competitive and the lowest in the metro area.
Pharmacy Technician (Current Employee) – Vancouver, WA – December 4, 2017
Mixing IV's for 8 hours. Good company, mostly have good intentions, but always trying to cut costs. Management is forced to keep an unrealistic goal. Pay is low for a hospital.
Leader (Former Employee) – Vancouver, WA – October 18, 2017
Stress filled and unsupported at the middle management level. A closed minded and underfunded leadership group with more emphasis on pressuring leaders to satisfy poor performers than to grow future leaders and help poor performers leave the organization.
Staff RN (Former Employee) – Vancouver, WA – October 5, 2017
Again it was the people I worked with that made this job a joy. everyone was helpful and team oriented, truly started to feel like family. Their insurance for employees is adequate but not the best. And there par rate is on the low end for this region.
Patient Access Representative-Admitting (Current Employee) – Vancouver, WA – October 4, 2017
Management helps when they can, pay could be better, busy job and detailed job without the best pay. Benefits could be a lot better then what they provide.
Radiation Therapist (Former Employee) – Vancouver, WA – October 2, 2017
The rest of the staff was great unfortunately everything went down because of upper management. It could have been great but would really need strong leadership to turn the place around.
Administrative Specialist II (Current Employee) – Vancouver, WA – June 25, 2017
The best part is working with the caring and hard working Nurses that have to deal with dying patients day in and day out. They are inspiring and have the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever met.
Pros
Great group of caring Nurses
Cons
Budget not so good, have to take unpaid or PTO days off to help the budget
Environmental Services (Former Employee) – Vancouver, WA – May 21, 2017
Started off great, once new company took over the environmental services department, things went down hill. Management was very unorganized, they took away my weekends even though recycling was a mon-fri 8 to 430 shift. Had the new company not came in, I would still be working there.
Work life balance difficult to maintain. Workload is stressful and high turnover.
Staff Nurse (Former Employee) – Vancouver, WA – May 19, 2017
Feedback heard from others is work life balance difficult to maintain. Workload is stressful and high turnover. Budgets are tight and difficult to obtain supplies needed to do the work.
Laboratory Technician (Current Employee) – Vancouver, WA – May 10, 2017

Food Service Assistant (Former Employee) – Vancouver, WA – December 1, 2015
Made sandwiches for staff as well as patients families and customers. I learned how to make sauces and spreads from scratch and our weekly specials. Hardest part of the job was to have everything ready by opening for public. Most enjoyable part of the job was all the people I met and became friends with.
Manager Diana Rogers (Current Employee) – Vancouver, WA – December 14, 2013
Very busy department Learning to protect patients info HIPPA Laws Very good co-workers The most hardest part of the job work flow is overwheling Funniest part of the job working with people
