Pros

There aren't many reasons to work at Essentia, to be honest - at least, not as a security officer. The benefits are fair, but nothing to get overly excited about

Cons

Most things were cons for me. Medical staff look down their noses at you, for the most part. They treat you like a piece of equipment, not all, but most of them. You are to be used when appropriate and put away when not in use. They don't like talking to you, nor do they respect your expertise in your chosen career field. Let's be honest; security isn't rocket science, but some of us have extensive experience spanning a broad range of applications to draw from. In addition, security policy is made by a board of people who've never worked security, and who find it inconceivable to take advise from those of us who have years of experience. They promote bobbleheads who they know won't rock the boat and nothing changes.

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.
