Pros

Its a paycheck; co-workers are very nice; residents are very sweet; many jobs that you can transfer into and learn many functions in the ministry;benefits are ok if you don't have a chronic disease;

Cons

ASL Corporate Staff make knee-jerk decisions w/o thinking about chaos that it will cause the staff; Corporate Staff make decisions based off of your appearance vs. work performance; the President/CEO came to our facility and wouldn't even take a photo with the staff and got rude when asked to; Not paid for the amount of work that is expected; hostile work environment due to not ever sure if you will be fired next; ASL Chief Nursing Officer's highest level of education/credential is RN; Corporate Staff do not lead by example; they try not to use Agency Staff but do not have enough staff of their own which results in safety events; no on boarding process/program for any of the positions at ASL; not giving the tools needed to perform your job as expected;

Pros

The patient population can be very rewarding to work with, and there can be lots of different job opportunities but very limited advancement with mainly lateral department shifts if a person is looking for change.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent. The "raise" is a yearly COLA of between 2%-3%. There is no ability to talk to anyone regarding a raise, even the admin staff are fully stonewalled in the overlly corporate monolithic HR style of maintaining "fair" wages. I have worked here for several years and I actually earn less now because my "raises" do not keep up with inflation and the actual cost of living. They maintain their functionality on squeezing as much as they can out of one employer by slowly shifting more job responsibilities called "opportunities" onto you without extra pay or change in title that would get a pay increase. They look to higher level licensed staff to provide more coverage for roles that they won't hire for or cut in departments. They do "organizational restructuring" every 6 months because more staff quit, they don't replace the staff, and tell others to absorb the former FT employees job responsibilities without pay increase and being told not to go into OT.
