Ascension Healthcare job reviews
-
Best thing
It helps people, I have a balance of work and downtime, I get off early a lot, it’s easy.
Worst thing
The work environment is very stressful, drains my energy, backaches, adding on a lot of tasks that’s not on our job description and not compensating us. Manager lacks teamwork a lot.

Best thing
Most of my coworkers are great. I can trade days with coworkers if i need a day off. We accumulate PTO rather quickly
Worst thing
If we get sick we have to use our PTO to cover our days. Management lies and does nothing to fix problems and has favorite workers that they allow to basically do what they want and treat others awful
