Business Outlook

Pros

Manger / Director level is committed to training and improvement. The Resource Group only hires top talent.

Cons

Zero opportunity for professional growth and advancement. Executive leadership has changed strategy and direction multiple times within a short time period. Overall, strategy prevents growth. Executive leadership has created an organization that is run on fear. If you voice a concern that opposes leaderships direction, you will be fired! The Resource Group continues to overlook what's best for their customers, the hospital. Rather focus on global growth. Constant favoritism to vendors and the "chosen" unqualified employees.

Pros

There are no best reasons anymore, other than to say you at least have a job. Ascension destroyed St. Vincent Hospital and any core values they had, and now R1 (a revenue cycle company) is destroying Ascension, although Ascension can't see it...yet.

Cons

I worked there for 27 years until my job was shipped to India. I don't trust them anymore.

Pros

Good amount of time off and good place to work.

Cons

Health care coverage goes down every year and becomes more expensive. Every year my modest raise in pay is chewed up by increased health care coverage costs and deductibles. I stay in the network but it doesn't matter anymmore. Today I just paid $100 copay for a name brand prescription. In 2016 the copay was $40.
