Ascension reviews

I've been suffering in silence for many months, feeling like I was alone. But I just found out a co-worker also has PTSD from being tormented by the same leadership. I feel it would be irresponsible of me to not post on Glassdoor to let potential candidates know about the environment here. (If you don’t know much about PTSD, it will significantly impact both your mental and physical health, hurt your personal relationships and/or have severe consequences to your home life.) The culture at Seton is toxic. After multiple rounds of layoffs, we are on a skeleton crew, and most of the remaining employees have insurmountable workloads and are struggling to tread water creating a CYA environment. Leaders show strong bias in their management style, with “favorite” employees who wander around 8-5 rubbing shoulders and brown-nosing; some of whom literally do ZERO WORK as they delegate to other poor souls who don’t even report to them and then claim their work as their own. Those who are less fortunate have OVERWHELMING workloads. No, not like “every other company” who is doing more with less. Seton is doing more with less because you have to account for the leadership’s “favorites” redistributing their workloads into their buckets. And don’t ever upset your leader, the Seton culture tolerates retribution. If you get on their bad side, or if they just don’t like you, it is apparent in the management of daily activities, in how they treat you, and when you receive your annual performance evaluations. I’ve seen examples of retaliatory behavior from managers through C-suite level. If you are a narcissist or a lemming you might do well here. Everyone else in between with career aspirations should beware of big smiles and false promises.

Ascension is a joke, from HR all the way down. Leave is one of the worst departments at the service center. Someone came up with a bright idea of having their managers (who can't even manage themselves), go into other departments and manage. Let's just say those departments have failed miserably. The turn over rate in the time I was there was 15 people in less than a year who've escaped the madness. One Supervisor is sleeping with one of his employees and continues to flirt with her in front on everyone while the Manager of the department continues to act like he doesn't see it and blames others about starting rumors about something that is clear as day. None of the managers or supervisors have any experience over the department they're over. For example at least 3 managers on the benefits team have never has ANY experience in benefits anything. They have no leadership or communication skills or training. They belittle their employees and will forever micro manage. I see this company not making it pass the next 5 years, especially when you have hospitals who are separating themselves from the organization's leadership, the company is running out of money and outsourcing services in there OWN service center, and employees continue to leave. Bless any and everyone who works in the service center because they definitely need it.
