Pros

I love the people I work with, and my experience with direct up line management is pretty good.

Cons

Mercy as a corporation is terrible. They make it obvious that they don’t care about employees or patient safety. On the face of it, they hide behind a veil of “Ministry”. Like others, they blame a fictitious nursing shortage, and a “surge” in business for the critical staffing shortage, rather than looking at the enormous pay they afford executives verses the tight wallet they have with clinical, front line, staff. In the moment, they will send patients to the floor, whether there is someone to care for them or not. Lack of experienced staff and refusal to allow time for newer staff to be educated have led to fatal errors in care. I am aware that this is not necessarily unique to Mercy, but I am acutely aware that it is within their power to remedy. They do not appear to want that.

Pros

There were some surgeons I loved working with. They negotiated with me for higher pay.

Cons

Worked as a tech while pregnant, no breaks. Unspoken teams. People who gate keep certain rooms. I’ve never been made to feel so incompetent in my career over things that did not actually matter. Seriously better hospitals to work for in the city.

Pros

It is supposed to be a nonprofit hospital

Cons

Very high pressure, condescending environment. The vaccine push & workplace bullying without exception in regards to flu shot for years & now covid without any regard for legitimate medical exemptions is inhumane. The corporate attitude is that the St Louis way is the only possible way. They approach areas remote to St Louis as if they are a lesser class of people who never did anything correctly & must be brainwashed in the Mercy way. Their scapegoat excuses are always “The ministry says ___. Catherine McAuley would’ve approved it. She would’ve done it this way.” I can only imagine she’s rolling in her grave at the unChristian- let alone gravely unCatholic way this “ministry” runs their corporation. Underpaid staff. High patient to staffing ratios. Always putting profitability before safety. Outdated, unsafe equipment is never replaced, just removed when it finally stops working. I could go on & on…
