Pros

Opportunity to further career, large healthcare system with many options

Cons

Merged with Ascension and cut the positions of many hard working, experienced associates without notice. Poor communication all the way around during the merger, left associated wondering if their position was safe or not.

Pros

The pay/salary are in line with other organizations. Vacation time and sick time are rolled into one bucket, but the time is generous as long as you don't become ill. The associates are hard working and dedicated.

Cons

Toxic organizational culture. The MSC has their values written on conference rooms and then breaks them daily with their employees (associates). They are quietly downsizing where many former excellent associates are there one day and gone the next. They pay the CEO and Executive Leadership excessive salaries, yet PIP or severance pay dedicated staff out hoping no one notices. There is nothing Catholic, moral, or rooted in the loving ministry of Jesus about this place. Work for them at your own risk, you are disposable. No accountability-Upper management consistently blames their staff for their own performance failures and then eliminates the associate. It's the one constant about the organization. Yet, no one above the MSC takes any ownership or action to fix the situation. If it's a faith based organization, it isn't a faith rooted in Jesus. Matthew 7:15

Pros

This is a national company that has a good reputation. My hospital is very well thought of. It serves a very large population and draws from ma large region that provides state-of-the-art healthcare.

Cons

This company has changed from the one that I hired on with. As is probably the case everywhere, it's only real focus has become the Almighty Dollar. They have gone the way of no longer valuing experience, to the point of firing very good employees in order to hire younger, "cheaper" ones, especially obvious in nursing. Furthermore, the expectations of these young nurses are unreasonable and has resulted in an unsafe patient care environment.
