Ascentist-Healthcare

I was initially excited to work here because it's a growing and expanding company. The job was simple enough that I didn't understand why they were constantly hiring people. Soon, I figured out that it's another workplace where managers play favorites, don't listen to your concerns, and even when you do more than what is asked, it is not recognized. They WILL expect you to come to work despite weather conditions and warnings. The pay is barely livable despite this being a very successful private healthcare company with extremely small "raises" yearly. There's a lack of accountability/communication across the company, and opportunities for advancement unless you'd like to switch jobs within the company which is accessible.   
HR is not helpful in the slightest. Every question we ask is responded to with "That's not our job." There have been three changes for the HR department head and currently don't have one, so it's no surprise they mess up people's taxes every year.
Benefits are EXPENSIVE with no help from the company. It's truly the bare minimum insurance despite us being a healthcare group. 
 Hours are nice and flexible unless you have any appointments, or conflicts you have to get done during the week, they don't like that even if you have your own coverage. Their attendance policy is also a whole different issue. You get 8 points throughout the whole year, and you get a point if you are more than 5 minutes late, or clock in more than 5 minutes early.

I feel like there is always a disconnect with communication between nursing and the administration. Like we are always 2 days behind in hearing important information. I think this is the way it is all around the hospitals and clinics. We are lacking in important safety measures all the time that can affect patients. The computer system is so antiquated and the 2 systems don't talk to each other....we end up getting a mix of paper orders and computer orders and sometimes mistakes are made and the 'errors' just get swept under the rug. Management knows we have lots of safety issues and errors but is trying to diminish them to keep their % down.

Culture is lacking...everyone looks out for their selves and not much of a team work approach. Once a month admin buys cupcakes for the hospital staff?? We don't need treats, we need equipment that works or isn't held together with ducktape, we need adequate staff on the units, we need  a software system that isn't a death trap, we need communication, and we need to stop risking patient safety all in the name of profits!



I joined Ascentist Hospital in late 2023 and thus far, I have been impressed with what I've seen.  
Management and HR have both been extremely supportive of the onboarding and orientation processes, providing continued follow-up to see if I have any questions or concerns.  The healthcare team has also been kind, welcoming, and willing to help me, if needed.
There is a learning curve, but I'm enjoying learning about the different specialties and services we offer.

I've also read some of the previous posts and would offer a bit of additional feedback.  The hospital changed owners (in the recent past) and new cultures need time to evolve, just like people need time to adjust to these changes.  In the time I've been here, I've seen increased team cohesiveness, as well as the continued growth of the Ascentist culture in support of employee success and more importantly, excellent quality-driven, safe patient care.

Ascentist is solely focused on profits. They do not care about patients’ wellbeing or safety.
 Safety issues were often ignored and disregarded by upper management. Don't express your concerns to management-they don't want to hear it and it just falls onto deaf ears.
The billing department is deceitful and uncaring towards patients. There were meetings about changing patients procedural diagnosis to what were more expensive allowing bigger profit margins. This company is everything that is wrong with healthcare.

Benefits were $$$$$$ The company does not contribute to your healthcare benefits, so the cost is falls directly on the employee. Other benefits were medicore at best and could have been better to remain competitive in today's market

Management is more like a dictatorship-they stroll through the hospital and act like they are royalty and all the rest of the employees are expected to bow in respect to them.

The health insurance is so expensive I can't afford it! The company doesn't contribute to your premiums, so you are basically paying the full cost for you and your family. And even with the expensive premiums, there is a large deductible to be met as well as high out of pocket amounts.

Disorganized, we always seems to be 2 steps behind in everything and there is poor communication. They could do so much better, but don't seem to want to. It's like they're ok being mediocre as long as they are pulling in record profits?? Doesn't allow for best morale in the company.

I enjoy working here because I like the work, my team is awesome and many of the people here are great at their jobs.
Management/leadership is not so great. They don't listen to concerns and problems continue because they're never properly addressed.
Culture sucks most of the time. Communication is nonexistent.
No real recognition for performance.
Raise requests go ignored. Yearly raises are very small, regardless of how long you've been in your position or how valued you are to the teams you work with.
Most people come here, gain experience and move on to work at places that pay more competitively. We have lost so many great employees because of the terrible culture and management.

Protect your license and run away!  Run far, far away.  The hospital staff is great.  Everything else is an absolute horrid mess.  They will say and do anything to make you look bad and themselves feel better, including openly lying.  They are growing too quickly and making things up as they go along.  They will create reasons to get rid of you if they don't like you.  I could go on for hours with a bad review, but my morals and integrity are making me take the high road.  If you do accept a position with this company, may God be with you!

Overall, the team I worked for with was amazing. However, the management was awful. There were other departments that would often criticize the department I worked in. I also worked in the call center and the same person would complain about the volume mind you, this is a call center. All we do is talk to people all day. It was borderline harassment. They criticize my disability, although it didn’t interfere with me doing my job.

Expensive benefits, ineffective management, and a toxic workplace environment are reasons to look elsewhere for employment.

Emphasis on toxic workplace: everyone reports everyone to HR over minor infractions. Your role in the company is determined by favoritism by childish managers. You are shouted down if you try to change the work culture. Management needs to get their act together.



I worked remotely for a little over two years at Ascentist in the physician billing department.  I would have stayed longer if I had not developed health issues.  Things started off kind of rough, because the company was growing so rapidly, but as time went on, and more departments were developed, things became much smoother.    Ascentist has a very good group of people who all worked together as a team in my department.
