Pros

Faith-based organization. Great start.

Cons

Executive leadership RCIOs are clueless to the real hands on work. They force the good leaders out to protect their mediocre peers.

Pros

They do have great benefits.

Cons

Horrible upper management. For a Catholic Health employer, they are not very Christian in their employee matters. How they maintain their Catholic identity is a mystery.

Pros

Ascension is a great mission-oriented company. Good benefits.

Cons

Politics are brutal. Management in the MSC have no healthcare experience, and they condescend to those who do. The facility was over built with flashy, colorful furniture and high-tech elaborate big screen TVs in a way that contradicts Ascension's modest values. Favorites are played and if you disagree you are isolated. The CEO is barely ever there. He doesn't even live in Indianapolis. Despite Ascension's high-minded platitudes, they pay $10s of thousands of dollars per year for his travel costs. HR department is pretentious and hard to deal with. If you want to express a concern, it is a shame that you can't trust HR to respect your confidentiality.
