Pros

Helping patients, some collaborative teammates, health insurance

Cons

Short staffed, horrible HR, horrible management, pay is low for the expectation of all in this position, training is significantly subpar, and we fail to follow regulations, and have been noncompliant for many YEARS. Some nurses are mean and/or incompetent so seeing patients suffer is sickening and detestable when the company can nnnzot provide the service they are paid to provide. I even saw a nurse decide not to give a patient insulin because "it was only 1 unit." On paper, the culture is nice. Truly the units are full of gossip and disrespecting patients more than valuing associates and caring for patients. No room to be promoted exists. No inclusion is seen. Ascension has a program for this, yet HR, management, and associates generally exclude others for differences and fail to provide the same opportunities to all while failing to accommodate associates (imagine being able to do your job & needing a ramp to get in a building, but the company won't provide one; that is an extreme example to prove a point, still that happens here. Ascension Kansas Via Christi lies about employees' work ethic to fire them instead of accommodating or fixing real issues [like staff demeaning & beating on patients.])

Pros

I can't complain about the pay but in all honesty, it's not worth the lack of respect from administration.

Cons

It's insane to say, but I think I would rather work for HCA. At least they have processes and procedures and some resources as bare minimum as they are.
