      Pros

      Fair base pay, 401K employer match up to 4%

      Cons

      They took away our extra shift bonus, yet expect us to work back-breaking OT. They merged multiple units together, such as ICU with IMCU, without considering our opinions. Our complaints fall on deaf ears. Staff nurses are leaving in droves, with no one to replace them. Constantly short-staffed, yet they refuse to hire travelers or give us back our incentive bonus to work extra. What gives? An "open ICU" has turned this new fancy building into more of a 5-star hotel than a hospital--our focus is on aesthetics and pleasing family members instead of actually focusing on patient care.

      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.
