Pros

Ascension is a great company that offers competitive pay, great benefits and does great things for the community. I worked for Ascension many happy years before transferring to the Ministry Service Center and was shocked at the difference.

Cons

The Ministry Service Center does not represent Ascension as they should but for some reason Ascension leadership allows it to continue. The C-Suite is a boys club. The COO and his 'crew' make inappropriate comments about female staff and as they walk by. The COO has hired all of his friends from the past in Executive positions in what appears to be a way to insulate himself. Everyone knows that if you lodge a complaint your life will be made miserable until you leave. The CHRO dresses like a 17 year old in revealing clothes and neither she nor her HR staff does anything to support the associates. Leaders don't come to work until 9am and are often gone before 4p. The purpose of the center was to serve the hospitals that serve patients. Profit and bonuses are the motive for Executives not Service to Others and Service of the Poor. This place is a joke!
