Pros

Location, beautiful in Duluth. Colleagues. Most physicians.

Cons

Leadership is horrible and out of touch with reality, it's the "good ol' boys club" at the top. High paid CEO, makes way more than Mayo CEO???? Top leadership or simply talking heads, they do to care about employees, especially the community as they buy up everything from small town hospitals and remove services those people have always, like birthplace, after telling hospital and community in that area they would not change anything. It's all about who you know and much of a schmoozer you are. They fix their numbers, so many MD, DO, and APP's have left, yet in a general review of EH you would never see it. Hmm, lying is the real foundation of this supposed Benedictine institution. Non union staff overworked, "salaried" which means an expectation of giving EH at least 10 hours of free work per week to meet the RVU's they are expecting, so CEO can get his large raise every year. Parking is horrible. The new hospital is horrible, all high tech yet know one their to use it, not meeting the demands of patient care nor patients themselves. I'd recommend to steer clear of Essentia Health and all their lies.

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.
