Pros

Working with really awesome patients Good hands on experience in the medical field

Cons

When I first started working here, I really enjoyed it, But management has become disastrous. They do not care about their staff. Always short staffed, no pay raises or ability to progress. Overworked! Unappreciated and managers don’t listen to feedback. They’re all about making money, even if it means having 1 staff member caring for way too many patients.. resulting in poor care. Managers get bonuses for being short staffed and pocket it for themselves. You’re frequently floated off your own unit to sit 1:1 with patients. I’d say go somewhere else, but it’s tough when they’re the ruling medical facility in grand forks.

Pros

Altru has a strong mission and truly cares about the patients and communities it serves. Leadership communicates openly, coworkers are supportive, and there is flexibility that helps maintain work-life balance. It's rewarding to work for an organization where you can see the impact of your work.

Cons

Like many healthcare organizations, priorities can change quickly, which requires flexibility and adaptability. During periods of growth and change, processes may evolve and require teams to adjust.
