Sad State of Affairs - lawsuit waiting to happen

Pros

Ascension is a great company that offers competitive pay, great benefits and does great things for the community. I worked for Ascension many happy years before transferring to the Ministry Service Center and was shocked at the difference.

Cons

The Ministry Service Center does not represent Ascension as they should but for some reason Ascension leadership allows it to continue. The C-Suite is a boys club. The COO and his 'crew' make inappropriate comments about female staff and as they walk by. The COO has hired all of his friends from the past in Executive positions in what appears to be a way to insulate himself. Everyone knows that if you lodge a complaint your life will be made miserable until you leave. The CHRO dresses like a 17 year old in revealing clothes and neither she nor her HR staff does anything to support the associates. Leaders don't come to work until 9am and are often gone before 4p. The purpose of the center was to serve the hospitals that serve patients. Profit and bonuses are the motive for Executives not Service to Others and Service of the Poor. This place is a joke!

Pros

AIS is paid hourly with a $3hr per hour on-call, paid time and a half for a call where you get paid minimum 2hrs

Cons

-Upper management is dishonest and does not communicate what so ever it feels like upper management does not have your best interests in mind -Service Desk is useless, told this on a daily basis by the end users, end users constantly asking for your personal number because they don't want to deal with the service desk. - Constantly told by other AIS departments "its not our issue" -AIS departments (mainly application analysts) do not read notes in tickets causing tickets to be constantly misrouted - You are micromanaged to death. -Many many many issuses within Ascension AIS -Implemented a 7am-7pm coverage (was 8am-4:30pm) for all sites but refuse to staff appropriately to cover the extra coverage causing very little work\life balance -Zero accountability, too many associates do not fulfill their job duties\responsibilities.
