Pros

When I first started it was about making a difference in the lives of the patients and the associates, greeting everyone from housekeeping to CEO and of course the Daughters of Charity, if a associate needed help the group as a whole St. Vincent's family were there for you, HR would be there when a displaced associate to help you and the team find another positions within the company

Cons

It's about the money, not making a difference, Senior leadership does NOT care about the worker bees - the associates who keep the doors open, they can find someone who is less experienced for less money and get larger salaries/bonuses for themselves, now they say don't let the door hit you on the way out

Pros

The patient population can be very rewarding to work with, and there can be lots of different job opportunities but very limited advancement with mainly lateral department shifts if a person is looking for change.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent. The "raise" is a yearly COLA of between 2%-3%. There is no ability to talk to anyone regarding a raise, even the admin staff are fully stonewalled in the overlly corporate monolithic HR style of maintaining "fair" wages. I have worked here for several years and I actually earn less now because my "raises" do not keep up with inflation and the actual cost of living. They maintain their functionality on squeezing as much as they can out of one employer by slowly shifting more job responsibilities called "opportunities" onto you without extra pay or change in title that would get a pay increase. They look to higher level licensed staff to provide more coverage for roles that they won't hire for or cut in departments. They do "organizational restructuring" every 6 months because more staff quit, they don't replace the staff, and tell others to absorb the former FT employees job responsibilities without pay increase and being told not to go into OT.
