Pros

In general, employees were enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Pay is about 40% lower than competition, benefits are about 60% lower than competition. The position I took following this job resulted in a 250% increase. Management does not respond well to state of the art operational excellence strategies and tools. Nor do they wish to sponsor improvement activities, do not appreciate identification of root causes of problems and will retaliate against those that point such out, with data. Absolutely no advancement opportunity, manager never had discussion of such in 3 years, way behind the times in managerial best practices, much micromanagement. The expressed vision, mission and culture is quite different than reality.

Pros

I really enjoyed the patients I worked with and a lot of the other providers as well. The new hospital is really nice.

Cons

The CEO is corrupt. You will feel like a number at Essentia. Advanced practitioners have no say in their job. They can change your job duties at any time. They can send you to other locations at any time. And do you have no say in this. The physicians definitely have a better position than any of the advanced practitioners. They are treated a lot better by management. There’s a reason the advanced practitioners voted to unionize. There were plenty of nurses that were making the same amount of money as advanced practitioners there. And the nurses had great locked in benefits with being unionized. Where advanced practitioners would only get two weeks paid for maternity leave.
