Pros

Cons
-Ascension Seton Radiology Technologists are paid 8-18% behind competitors at BS&W, ARA, and St. Davids, -All departments are behind in technology. Some are still using CR X-Ray from the early 2000s. Ascension Texas does not use a three-year capital replacement plan. There is no network-wide capital replacement plan for Radiology. Administrators use "Emergency Capital". -No Network Director. They did have a director, but he had no power and no funding. A good guy, but he quit in about a year out of frustration. -This can be a place where you may expect to be written up for filing a complaint on a physician for harassment, but YOU get written up because he "brings in the volume". -Every year you will get a statement *asking* you not to use your HSA or FSA on birth control. -Managers lose all PTO if they resign, even with sufficient notice. -Staff lower than managers have decreased PTO benefits over time. -ACR accreditation at an Ascension radiology modality is less than half. This is highly unusual.
