Pros

Regular paychecks, health/dental/vision insurance and set hours

Cons

Moderate pay, lack of promotional opportunities, negative culture, little to no recognition, little to no raises. Unfortunately all I see for the future of Ascension is greed. Patient care has declined significantly, employee culture is low and toxic. My workspace in administration has a very negative culture due to the competitive nature, no management is present and everyone is fighting each other for responsibilities to try and justify a raise. After more than 2 years of employment the only raise I received was .45 cents and I have willingly taken on a multitude of duties outside of my job description. The company has terrible environmental standards and does not promote recycling or proper waste management.

Pros

Benefits were ok. Discount on cafeteria food. Paid holidays.

Cons

Ascension values the ol'mighty dollar before anything else including patient care. Constant change in polices with no training to implement. Managers could be more helpful and understanding. Everyone gets the same 2% raise reguardless. Getting anything done with HR is nightmare. The company is too big. Your department will be more worried about money than providing patient care.

Pros

I never really felt comfortable in this environment from day one due to the lack of Sr and middle Management competency and lack of support. The biggest pro was getting to meet some very nice and skilled employees.

Cons

As a Sr PM, I was repeatedly assigned multi million $ projects to manage without prior Executive Management prioritization, sponsorship, committed resources, or adequate approved budget, not to mention their level of maturity and acknowledgement for process improvement was nothing nut lip service, time and again! I was blamed for projects that didn't achieve their unrealistic goals and used as a scapegoat for their own lack of engagement and support as continually requested by myself on several large and supposed critical projects. Sr executive Mgmt has the majority of employees either brainwashed or manipulated via their very subjective employee performance review system. It is one of the most untrustworthy companies I ever worked for in my 35 yrs of employment in 6 different industries! They really should be thoroughly investigated by an independent regulatory agency.
