Pros

Salary is competitive, Benefits are competitive. Possibility of learning.

Cons

Only thing you need to be successful here is , how good you are to become dirty player politically. How much you can flatter. Training opportunities are None . Managers will not pay you for any training, Even will send their favorite people to trainings even they are not part of that job. Force you to enter the bogus training hours. Competencies are not required , only flattering. Most of the people are promoted from ground level and they don't know how to behave or work like professional. Personal comments, talking on the back of each other, calling bad names and humiliate other people. Bosses are bullies . Will not let you have piece of mind. If you live on east side,will force you to work on west side. No team work, colleagues will tell on you to get closer to managers. Employees are forced to work during their family time with no comp time.

Pros

All the ground level associates truly feel and live the mission. Patient care/outcomes and experience is their top priority.

Cons

Leadership is very poor and is only focused on making their own bonuses.

Pros

The shifts are 12 hours, so you only work 3 days a week. Most of my coworkers are great to work with. My manager is very accomadating as far as the schedule.

Cons

I have been an employee for 5+ years, but still every "raise" I have received has only bumped my pay to the bottom of the pay scale, therefore brand new employees with no experience at all make the exact same as me, despite being told that I am a great employee, and having good reviews every year. Benefits are quickly disappearing. PTO accrual rate lowered. Excused call in days lowered from 3 to 2. Insurance costs more for worse coverage, although we supposedly switched to a company also owned by Ascension because it would cost less. I guess they meant it would cost less for them, not their employees! Often forced to work in an environment unsafe to the employees and the patients. Most of the time we are short staffed and must take more patients than what our maximum patient load is. The management is mostly ineffective. And that's on a good day when you actually see them or they finally return one of your many unanswered phone calls and emails.
