Pros

12 hour shifts Bonus offers (the only reason a lot of people work there) Coworkers (who help when you are drowning) Top notch cleaning staff (you won’t find a cleaner floor) Rewarding work

Cons

No support from upper management. Management not trained to do what they “manage” the staff to do. Expensive insurance for such a large company. Treat you like you don’t matter and they can just replace you. High turnover. ZERO appreciation. Very inappropriate patients. Not ready for rehab.. it is about $$ but then get upset when patients are unstable and sent to the ER. Hiring nurses with ZERO experience just to fill a spot and seasoned nurses must pick up the slack. Rules change daily. Fixing things that aren’t broken and not the things that need fixed. Staffing. Unsafe staff to patient ratios especially at night. Let favorite staff pick days/assignments and give the worst to the others. Always told things will get better and they never do.

Pros

Fair wages & positive rapport with therapy team

Cons

Poor leadership/administrative management team Mixed messaging on expectations/standards Questionable execution of ethical practices High case loads and no plan of support for staff Unreasonably high expectations/weight of metrics placed on Case Mgt team and treatment team staff rather than focus of best practice outcome for patients (bc admin does not want SNF rate to increase or NRC score to drop) Admin create culture that fostered several constructive discharges of staff members No work/life balance
