It used to be better - I miss the sisters
Pros
1. I had a lot of flexibility. 2. I had a great hands-off supervisor 3. I could work from home (AIS not the Resource Group) 4. Can't beat 22 days PTO to start 5. Great health benefits if you stay with an Ascension provider - low co-pays and deductions from your check. 6. Good 401K(non-profit form) match 7. Lots of good people here
Cons
Most of the religious leadership has retired and/or been replaced by business people. Beginning in 2012, things began to change. The pension died. You were seen as less associates who participated in the Mission, Vision and Values of Ascension and more a number. Someone who was looked at as overhead. I am no longer qualified for the work I have done for a decade because I don't have an MBA. The Resource Group has an antiquated policy that requires everyone to work in the office and dress up (including ties). Who cares if you your only contact with vendors is by phone. Raises are a standard 2% not matter how good your work is. Not everyone gets bonuses. Directors and above get one based on the work of everyone in their group (15-30%). VPs get 2 bonuses a year. Seems a little much for a non-profit company. Sometimes the lower level people would get thrown a "Success Sharing". I got 2%
