Pros

Value driven/integrated health care company (health-plan and care system). Very welcoming culture but depends on which locations you work in rural vs urban, small vs large site, etc. High level execs are very qualified women (which is awesome to see!) Most employees are very nice to work with and many are here to provide excellent care to members and community.

Cons

Compensation & benefit disparities depending on which employer you work for within the broader HealthPartners companies. This creates competition for resources, leads to turnover and artificially inflates comp rates (good for employees, bad for company/leaders). Opportunities for advancement are limited and tend to go to those highly visible roles or "hand selected" based on factors not related to merit/competency/results (happens more often than we want to admit). Very few racially diverse persons in upper management at corporate and indv companies. Tend to move problem employees around the different companies b/c HR/leaders can't seem to reach out to each other. Too many levels or overlapping duties resulting in no accountability. Communication from corporate to site and front line leadership is very lacking/conflicting, leading to duplication/rework. It's very frustrating. Technology (online scheduling, EMR, etc) is significantly behind Allina and Fairview.

Pros

Work/life balance, benefits, salary, managers, culture, purpose, human-driven goals, integrity, engagement, teamwork, compassion, health. Working from home for 5+ years has improved anxiety, wellness, and life balance. Not all jobs can be done remotely, but for those that can, it is a priceless benefit it itself to be able to be productive & undistracted. My team collaborates wonderfully all day despite the distance - they feel like family to me. I love the focus on improving the community. I love the integrity - HP actively fights racism, sexism, bigotry, bullying, & has been going out of its way (especially in the last 5-6 years) to continue to fortify its culture and create a truly diverse workplace. It's paying off. 15 years ago mid- to high-level teams were mostly Caucasian, and today, the teams I collaborate with at senior and mid- levels are culturally/religiously/racially diverse, gender balanced, welcoming, and always include differently-abled colleagues. I really love my job and with 20+ years at HP in many roles (at 3-4 levels), I know the culture well enough to state these things with complete confidence.

Cons

More work than workers! But for me this is a "pro".

Pros

It's a pretty good work environment. Generally positive.

Cons

The different parts of the company (Health Partners and Park Nicollet) are having difficulty integrating. Park Nicolet appears to be openly hostile to Unions. It makes for awkward work conditions, as you're likely to have to juggle multiple different instructions and workflows. This also causes conflicts when it comes to managing things like PTO or work assignments. Plan on on-the-job training. HP's only training is corporate videos, which are painfully inadequate.
