Used to be a great place to work

Pros

Ascension IS was a great place to work for my first 4 years. I got to work for an organization that seemed to believe it its mission, vision and values, including its employees.

Cons

Leadership changed and from there the mission, vision and values were thrown away, not by words, but by actions. Apparently the organization became so large that there were no checks and balances between system leadership and the individual oligarchs that run the different divisions. As long as you had a nice suit, you could do whatever you want.

Stress Pot Brewing Frustration and Turnover

Pros

Benefits-Okay Coworkers are dependable A few good managers who actually care left Opportunities to work from home The chance to really help those in need and make a difference

Cons

Understaffed- (clinical/non-clinical)- most associates are doing the job of 2-3 with no additional compensation, incentives, or overtime and are still expected to perform at their full potential. No exceptions. Constant policy changes with no true results of actual success, it just makes the work even harder to complete because the associates who actually do the work are not considered when the new policies are rolled out No growth-Very hard to move up unless you know the manager hiring personally or some one in high ranking. Compensation-raises are a joke, if you get one. All of your hard earned money goes to the upper management; you only get a crumb.

Pros

Pay - start around 19$ an hour Health Benefits Lots of areas in the company to laterally move.

Cons

No one cares about the employees. PTO is taken from associates and frozen, youre forced to work OT, your schedule always changes, youre forced to work holidays that youre not scheduled to work, your teams are understaffed, and there is obvious favoritism going on within the teams. Other managers from other teams do not mind their own business and try to step over other managers. Team Leaders never get anything done and never stand up for you. Everything management does makes no sense. They had a big lay off to "save money" and the next day had a pizza party. This company was great for the first two years but has gone down the crapper over the last fiscal year.
