Pros

There have been very proficient providers and ancillary staff here who genuinely care about the healthcare they provide.

Cons

Cutbacks have taken out lots of good workers & resources. Non-competitive pay/benefits has neutralized incentives for talented professionals to come work here. Staff that remains who still try to do a good job are the most over-worked people I have ever seen in my life. Future of clinics/labs/offices is indeterminate with direction of management now overseen by Mercy Health Network which acquired Covenant in 2016 Very poor decisions in how electronic record system was upgraded - very expensive mistakes made!

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.
