Pros
NONE. I listened to a recording an employee showed me of one of my managers screaming and cursing at a past employee. The employee quit and the manager was never corrected and became my manager. I was shown this recording by another employee first hand and told that certain leadership at Mercy have been recording each other and their conversations for years to use against each other. TOXIC behavior and culture is just the beginning of Mercy’s CRAZY and CORRUPT issues.
Cons
1) Admin/Office Managers and Leadership are outdated, mgmt. have worked at Mercy too long and the culture is stagnant. There are many retirees that for some reason are my grandma’s age and hate Mercy but they stay and cause a ton of drama and have 0 technical skills that are applicable in 2023. Why are they managers? There were a lot of either uneducated or unmotivated people who do not know what they are doing and it reflects in the high turnover of employees and all of the negative reviews. 2) All projects and training processes were completely mismanaged from day 1 by my manager. very poor management skills shown by my manager via a lack of general education and knowledge even after working here 15+ years. Severely lacked technical skills, very poor ability to communicate, manager was insecure and aloof, co-dependent on a retired go-worker to advise her, and threatened by my better skills as an employee. Management acted shady and unprofessional, caused issues interpersonally but also with accuracy and productivity. HUGE disappointment. 3) CHEAP. Pay is basic, healthcare is basic, 401k is basic, pension basic. Not worth the hassle of the above to work here. Try SLU or WASHU, done come to Mercy. 4) IT issues happened almost every week and were not minor but major issues across the hospital. Internal and external portal, and tools always had glitches and were not working correctly. 5) see above I listened to a recording an employee showed me of one of my managers screaming and cursing at a past employee. The employee quit and the manager was never corrected.
