Pros

Cafeteria discount, free employee parking, friendly CEO, town hall meetings, $10 birthday voucher, employee pharmacy discount. Working with skeleton crew will help an employee learn how to multitask. Lack of leadership allows for decision making by lower level Employees

Cons

No opportunity for growth. Poor communication between teams and intra-departmental, many unethical violations, many HIPAA violations, unsafe work environment, top heavy, lots of inappropriate racial and sexual conversation by physicians about staff and patients, uneducated supervisors and managers. Poor employee training. Worst salary in Chicagoland area for professionals. Horrible health insurance benefits. Health department violations in cafeteria. Nurses hide medications in drawers manager aware and advises to hide from risk management and Joint Commission. Manager advises risk masters to be sent to physician group inbox and NOT the hospitals risk management team. High post operative infection rate seen in patients. Patients seen after scheduled time. Gossip between managers and employees. Organization will not promote internally if employee is not 7th Day Adventist. Rude physicians. Lots of racial tension in organization. Inefficient staff in almost every department due to poor training. During orientation the organization tells new employees that they spend a lot of money therefor paying them low wages is beneficial to them. They also show the employee race demographics and new employees have to guess where these employees work.

Pros

People are great! Compensation was okay!

Cons

AMITA is entrenched in the Ascension way! Which means heavy bureaucracy and long delays when it comes to getting things done! People are not sure who is responsible for some functions, so you waste time trying to track some one to assist you with an issue. High Turn over in nursing at most hospitals, first year grads are looking for the door as soon as they see what is going on. Hospital(s) C-Suite has been decimated and those executives that are left are very disillusioned. IT support used to be great, now it sucks to the level no one even bothers calling for support. Department leads wont tell the truth about that other wise they feel they are being perceived as not being team players. Leadership is trying to become profitable by cutting staff, which puts patients at risk.
