Pros

I loved working for ascension. I worked in many units. Pay is good and they give good bonus. Its nice to be able to help sick people.

Cons

The problem here is that the unit I last worked in was all about people being mean to others, cursing at eachother, and just terrible environment. Alot of favortism there which then when you go to the manager they try to dismiss you and tell you that they flat out dont care. I put in many years into that place the company is GREAT but the people are just EVIL. I have seen nurses talk so terribly to patients. I have watched a nurse purposely start an IV with the largest needle because the patient was not listening. The nurses would threaten the patients at times. I am happy to see some of our staff leave because they were just terrible but then we are left with the rest and the managers dont care. Our manager will sit in his office while we are dying for help. He has hired all his family members and friends to work here and gives them any shift/position that they want. Just terrible. So honestly Ascension is the best hospital but the staff is shocking.

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.
