Pros

Free parking. Location makes for only minor traffic when driving to and from work.

Cons

Unstable environment. The benefits are poor, some needed, life-saving prescriptions are not covered. Change is so frequent all staff have change fatigue. They don’t leave any program in place long enough to let it function. It’s as if the inmates are running the asylum. HR functions are all automated, there is no human touch when it comes to vital things like hiring, benefit questions and Disciplinary action.

Pros

They try very hard to make the work environment fun, inclusive and an all around great place to work. A lot of great work perks

Cons

The boys club runs that place. Woman are scarce up top. They are VERY fond of titles and the ladder and do not want you to mingle with those lower than you. They look down on you due to your associations and are quick to judge and mistreat you the higher you go. SO MUCH POLITICS!1 A lot of old school thinking at the top.

Used to be a great place to work

Pros

Ascension IS was a great place to work for my first 4 years. I got to work for an organization that seemed to believe it its mission, vision and values, including its employees.

Cons

Leadership changed and from there the mission, vision and values were thrown away, not by words, but by actions. Apparently the organization became so large that there were no checks and balances between system leadership and the individual oligarchs that run the different divisions. As long as you had a nice suit, you could do whatever you want.
