Pros

Up to $20/hr extra for picking up shifts Frequent overtime opportunities

Cons

Mandated overtime occurs daily Ridiculous staff to patient ratios Constantly short staffed because they can't keep good nurses or techs Low morale among staff Negative environment due to unappreciated and overworked staff Management looks the other way with serious issues (med errors, RN administering sedatives just to keep certain patients asleep, frequent no call no show, incorrect documentation) just to keep a warm body on the floor Low salary in comparison to similar hospital systems Management decisions are based on budget vs staff needs

Pros

Good benefits. Health insurance is subsidized by Ascension based on pay.

Cons

Honestly the worst job and work experience Ive ever had. Daily drama over the same issues that are never effectively addressed. Any attempts at productive discussion are immediately met with push back, blame games, defensive behavior, and retaliation. Leads direct rude, demeaning language at employees. The department is understaffed. And management is lazy while expecting employees to do the work of two or three people. Pay is low. Especially considering the number of ruined knees, backs, and feet the job creates. Every morning we are required to participate in a prayer thanking God that we have jobs and ask Him to help us get all our work done.

Pros

You get paid and that's the only good thing about working here for Ascension. They simply don't care about their employees.

Cons

Not allowed to have love or feelings towards your fellow man. You have to function like a robot. You get accused of doing things you haven't done. If you have PTSD like I do, working for Ascension will trigger severe Anxiety Attacks. NO PRAISES FOR ALL THE GOOD AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU'VE I give half a star.
