Pros

Plenty of opportunities to work overtime nearly every paycheck. If you can get in it’s a great jumping off point to advance your career in the healthcare field. Flexible for college students.

Cons

Be prepared to be exhausted running your tail end off. High stress environment that runs you ragged for a low wage. My specific department has no employee moral boosting. Everyone on the team feels completely worthless to the company and feel like slaves to low wages with increased amount of work that is required of us to do.

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.
