      Pros

      Excellent job security and benefits. Decent pay, including having a lot of "per hour" positions rather than salary.

      Cons

      The management is...lacking. They typically don't ask for the opinions of their employees, and when they do, they don't use it. Time can be hard to get, depending on the shift you work. There are a LOT of fat cats getting paid a bunch of cash to do little to no work, and the little guys are the ones who suffer because of it. The hospital has had a lot of financial problems lately, mostly because said problem with waste/time theft.

      Sacred Heart Health System is a "Very Good" place to work.

      Pros

      Very good corporate culture. Sacred Heart (A part of Ascension) focused on the mission of providing very good health care to both paying and charity customers. This made all employees feel like they were contributing to to betterment of society. Also, there were many moral boosting strategies. For example: free lunches for holidays, birthday cards from the hospital, and special events sponsored by the hospital.

      Cons

      The Senior Leadership seems very disconnected from the rest of the staff. Some do make and effort to attend events, but most act as if they are too busy to attend things like employee forums and town hall meetings. In addition the communication among them is limited. It seems as if they all want to be the one person who "knows everything" so they keep things a secret to the detriment of the Health System.
