Pros

22 Days of PTO + 8 holidays for new hires < 3 years, 27 days of PTO + 8 holidays for >5 years Working from home policy (two days a week) It use to be really attractive, but Company is changing this policy (they said they are not), it is diminishing. The company is going through some major shifting. Beware of those reviews from ST Louis MO, some managers that are hiring put them there. LOL The work life balance is good.

Cons

The pay is below the market once you are hired, they only get you a 2% raise most of the time after that and hardly any opportunities for promotions, some layoffs here and there. So if you really want the job here, negotiate it HARD. You will stuck to that salary for many years to come. This is the rule for many companies as well, not just the Ascension Technologies. 401K match 3.5% for new hires.

Pros

Pros? Only if you’re referring to the people actually doing the work instead of the pencil-pushing higher ups making the bucks and the decisions affecting the workforce and quality of patient care. Capitalism is all well and good, but $17 mil for the top dog of Ascension? It’s obscene.

Cons

They ran the nuns out (the official line is they were aging and were called home to Indianapolis or wherever they’re home base is) and the money men took over. Outsourcing is the name of the game and forget about maintaining a presence in the community. You know, actually caring for the poor and vulnerable in the community as stated in the mission statement. What a joke. Only it’s on the patients.

Too much change, no stability.

Pros

Coworkers and working with the Daughters of Charity.

Cons

In a non-stop state of flux. New programs are rolled out and then stopped or changed with no clear reason, never giving them time to work. Non-management is never given a reason for the change or any sort of clarity for the constant changes. Management is more concerned with making money than employees, patients or the mission. The company is no longer mission focused. They have really lost sight of what once made them great.
