Pros

Some coworkers are okay if they aren't unstable human beings and have no self confidence with malicious intentions to get you fired.

Cons

No matter what you say, it doesn't matter because they've been there for 20 years. Your superior will always make it sound like you're an awful person and they're the victim, when in fact you are the one being bullied and ganged up on.

Pros

Coworkers are nice. City just fixed the crumbling roads. Great reputation as a heart hospital.

Cons

No salary increase or cost of living adjustment in years. Benefits reduced and workload increased due to staff downsizing. Filling 2 roles for years and fill like a number. Hard to believe that this is the largest catholic health system in the country. Keep adding more Vice presidents and cut at the bottom and patient quality will continue to decline. It's really not an effective business strategy. Leads to employee dissatisfaction.

Pros

They have catholic values and seem to do a lot in the community to help the poor get the medical attention needed regardless of age, race, sex and nationality.

Cons

They are big at talking and they do not even give you a chance. I came into this company as a contractor with 5yrs of medical claims experience. I was looking for a stable company and this was the biggest mistake of my life. The moment i walked through the door, they were micromanaging and made me a target. The training was just 2 weeks with a huge amount of information. I was audited my very first day on the phone and told i did not get a 90% and they nit picked over very little things. I was so dissapointed in the way things worked out in the contact center. I just wish i could tell people who are going to Nursing school in different parts of the country to not bother applying to work for ascension in any of their locations especially if you intend on starting off as a contractor.
