      It is catholic based non profit organizations and generally administrative people are caring and friendly too employees.

      Many times, there are confusions due to lack of work allocations among employees. This causes unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings.

      Advice to Management

      There must be clear explanation on daily responsibility for each employee in order for the employees to efficiently handle their job instead of carrying it over to the next shift

      I have been working at Mercy Health System full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The company's overall vision of providing care to underprivileged is honorable and felt in the location that I am employed. I cannot speak for other sites. I have been an employee for just over 8 months and I love my job. I feel constant support and encouragement from my Colleagues and my Manager. My department works very well together in completing our job. Acquiring any additional certifications or education is for the most part covered by the company. My manager is constantly doing what she can to support our team, keep us engaged and recognized for our roles in the success of the company. My position is unique in that I work from home, I am not monitored or micromanaged. I am treated as a professional and respected for my experience and given autonomy to do my job how I want. As long as I am following company standards and maintaining insurance or CMS guidelines.

      Cons

      Orientation was very fast. Although I was slowly brought up to full productivity, I was not given much time in person with my manager or colleagues to learn some of the little details of the job that end up being important in the long run. I work remotely therefore communication can sometimes be challenging. There isn't a specific job description or manual to refer to, which may not be important to others, but I feel would have been beneficial to me or to any new employee. Changes in policy or specific duties can happen very fast and sometimes with that there can be confusion.

      Advice to Management

      It takes all working together cohesively to make a well oiled running machine. One bolt or one belt breaking can cause the whole engine to shut down. Listen to your employees and their concerns no matter how little they may seem to you. We are all together one company but remember that we are also individuals who may learn or adapt to changes differently. Have patience and understanding that we all may need to adjust to the changes that are coming with healthcare now and in the immediate future.

      I have been working at Mercy Health System full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      The mission to serve the poor and underserved. The people you work with every day. The work is good, more challenging in the past, but still okay.

      Cons

      Being part of a larger organization that really does not appear to have a clue about this System or the market it serves. In an effort to reduced the bottom line especially in a support area (where I work) when colleagues leave positions, often their work is just distributed to other colleagues with no consideration for the amount of work the remaining colleague already has. Talk alot about work-life balance, but really do not practice what they preach.

      Advice to Management

      Better communication in some areas, much less communicaiton in other areas. Limit the number of meetings scheduled to allow colleagues to actually do their job.
