Pros
The people are amazing and no matter what your position in the organization you can see how your work impacts the patients care. Overall, Avera works hard to be competitive compensation by doing ongoing market analysis per job. I think the work life balance is definitely promoted by all department managers and administration. I think the great thing about Avera is the on going 1 on 1 sessions that are mandatory once to twice per month. Management and administration takes pride in keeping the communication open with all its' employees.
Cons
No matter where you work there is always cons. I definitely think they could work on helping employees with their career goals and show them how and what opportunities they should take to fulfill those goals.
