Ascension Employee Reviews

Incredibly positive and great for learning and improving in my position.

Working in the health care industry has its ups and downs. It can be very challenging, but there is always a positive reward for doing what we do. It is truly an honor to care for the sick and the vulnerable.

I have worked at Ascension for over 7 years now. I have loved all of the people I work with, and I am challenged on a daily basis.

Ascension has gone through many changes during my time here but the layoffs and outsourcing in AT (AHIS/AIS) did leave my team with PTSD.

Opportunities to grow and make an impact in the lives of the poor and vulnerable.

They look out for their staff more so than any other leadership team I have ever worked for.

Since I began working here, I have had many different leaders. And through all of them, I feel like I have always been able to approach them with concerns or problems.

They want to retain employees.

My direct leader is amazing!

Transparency and commitment to the mission which they keep at the forefront.

Transparency. Communication. Consistency. Strategic planning. These are all essentially missing.

showing appreciation to their staff

Large pay disparities among similar accounting and finance positions. Leadership is aware and is slow to adjust. I supposed they'd rather lose people than pay them fairly.

Transparency and follow-through - especially when executive leaders are new to the organization and replacing a team that was transitioned out. Going 6 months (or more) without a live (virtual) townhall to introduce yourself and talk with your team is a recipe for dissatisfaction.

Diversity, promotion and opportunities for all

The bonus at the end of the year.

The compensation package is good regarding salary and retirement

Much better coverage than at previous jobs

Clear explanation of goals, aligned to mission

Low cost for the $0 Copay deductible health plan, and company contribution to retirement plan in addition to matching

I feel very valued, but I do feel like we should be compensated more. Our health insurance is very subpar, expensive, and provides less coverage than many other companies and peopIe know who work in health care in other parts of the coutnry.

The only way to get a wage adjustment is to interview for an external role somewhere else and try to negotiate for a match.

When starting my new position, i took on many roles without any guidance and have excelled, yet my supervisor at the time never even aknowledged all my hard work.

New pay banks for benefits dramatically increased cost of insurance for mid-level employees. Leadership was not impacted and is not concerned. Leadership also needs to addressed pay disparities within similar jobs.

A compensation that matches my credentials. Watching others be paid more with less credentialling is terrible.

Their competency and willingness to help each other.

We have a culture that is supportive of one another and we value each other's opinions.

They are hard working and always willing to step in when needed

Knowledge sharing between teams is the best asset.

Authenticity, caring about one another, respect

Diversity of thought, equal opportunity

My coworkers have an antiquated view on healthcare and informatics. I feel that the lack of continuous training and opportunities for growth have left them at a disadvantage.

Team building exercises and a way to know the person more than what their job title states.

They need to be held accountable for not doing their job correctly by using a set process. Diversity for people/ideas/ involvement/what we bring to the table, but I believe Ascension has taken this too far as job accountability for correct work should mean right or wrong and that is good for all.

Everyone looks after one another

We support one another through all the hard times and the good times.

I love the new ABIDE framework. It makes everyone feel included and like we are all in this together.

being able to learn a new skill

Focus on our mission and values

Need to change the notion that company culture starts with "all of us". Please stop. Company culture needs to start at the very top. Set an example. Watching our Ascension Leadership team travel the world and host golf tournaments while we post a 1.8b deficit and ask markets to find $'s is no good.

The Resource Group, as a subsidiary, could do a better job connecting with Ascension's goals. In addition, TRG could do a better job trusting associates vs. treating them as if they're all newbies. TRG needs to revisit groups with high turnover rates because they exist and ask the hard questions.

I really enjoyed the questions i was asked. The recruiters and hiring leaders really want to know you as a person to determine best fit

Response from Ascension

Hello. Thank you for sharing such kind words with us. We are so glad to hear your positive feedback. We hope you are well and take care.

The interviewer made me feel very comfortable. The questions were straight forward and relevant.

It was fair and honest.

It was completely over the phone. No face to face meeting. The interview was a great conversation and an exchange of ideas.

Improving the outcomes of the patients I take care of.

Helping families as they navigate through some of the hardest times of their lives.

Getting recognized for working hard

Being respected and included in conversations and decisions.

The mission of our organization is clear and I feel like I'm a part of something bigger than myself that helps people.

We can't get out of our own way. Leadership at all levels needs a crash course in both strategic thinking and cross-functional collaboration to tame the high levels of redundancy and wasted effort.

Apologies - 300 character limit isn't enough for this response.

I feel management needs a leadership course. I dont always feel supported or heard.

Relationships across markets, being valued and accepted by all

No autonomy is allowed to employees outside of the VP and higher level. Also, all decisions must go up before they go down. All escalations result in more work.
