I love my team of physicians, APPs, nurses, MAs, and PCTs - we all share the same goal of high quality patient care and working as a team to get the job done.
Cons
There is not much room for career advancement as a lead APP or in leadership
Historically - Northshore built its reputation on valuing employees and fostering collaboration, recognition of effort, and a culture centered on well-being.
Cons
After several acquisitions, Northshore )Endeavor) is not who they used to be. They certainly don't treat everyone equally - playing favorites at the same time racial discrimination.

I worked on the med surg floor at Elmhurst Hospital and I really enjoyed the culture there. I had a lot of opportunities to gain new knowledge.
Cons
Management has favorites. They say they are willing to accommodate anyone but when I had a family member pass out of state I was told I had two days of bereavement. Come to find out I only had one day and the manager took time from my PTO to cover their mistake.
