Pros

You get paid and that's the only good thing about working here for Ascension. They simply don't care about their employees.

Cons

Not allowed to have love or feelings towards your fellow man. You have to function like a robot. You get accused of doing things you haven't done. If you have PTSD like I do, working for Ascension will trigger severe Anxiety Attacks. NO PRAISES FOR ALL THE GOOD AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU'VE I give half a star.

Pros

Nothing at all. Horrible company

Cons

Horrible management. No life and work balance, no one cares about the employees. The only way you can take a day off is if you're bed sick, and then they would probably have to write you for missing so many days.
