Pros

Lets just say not many exist. It is a job if one is needed. That is the only pro.

Cons

Horrible benefits for a healthcare organization. Surrounding health organizations offer way better options, pay and coverage. The pay at Ascension is garbage, which is why the employee retention rate is sooooooooooo bad. It is seriously bad. High turn-over which causes there to be a lot of inexperienced staff working. No Raises even though they are non-for profit and they are sitting on billions of dollars and the CEO's of the "non-for-profit" company are making tens of millions of dollars a year. If that doesn't sum it up then I don't know what will. The staff morale at every Ascension site I have been at is the same, horrible! That starts at the top. Instead of firing lower level management (as they like to do), I think the upper level management and above should be fired. That is where the change is needed. Not on the lower end. This organization spews tons of stuff out that talks themselves up to look good like they have values and morals. That couldn't be further from the truth. The companies actions negate all that, and the company is stupid if they think the staff doesn't see right through all of it.

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.
