Pros

St Vincent's provides needed charity care to the community. They USED to take good care of their employees through compensation, promotion and recognition. Things have changed with the new CEO and no one is more important than him. Now employees are afraid to do anything extra for patients, families or other employees. Best to just do your job and leave for the day.

Cons

You are not respected or rewarded for your experience. The longer you stay and the better you perform, the better chance they will find someone less experienced (and less expensive) to replace you. Watch your back. Enjoy your work, but know it is NOT important to management that you are a hard worker. You ARE replaceable. No security in this job.

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.
