Pros
Feeling of helping others and seeing end result of my efforts. I get to make a difference! Great team, both in my department and overall. Career Opportunities: I have moved into a new job once so far and it is all about working on getting the skills needed in the next job and doing very well in your current job. The way I look at it, folks shouldn't move up just because they have been around a while. It should be something to work toward, interview for, and get because of best fit. I personally have seen people get promotions and lateral roles they were interested in. IDPs - having a development plan has helped me become very strong in my role. Good benefits and PTO. I can't go anywhere else and get the time off I get here, and the 401k match and stock purchase programs are very good. Fair pay - we all wish we made more no matter where we work, but Encompass Health seems to stay competitive. Strong company - they know how to run and grow the business, which provides me peace of mind. I like having this job! Recognition and rewards - Step Up to Excellence points (which I can use to get gift cards and items from the immense gift catalog), Outstanding Employee Achievement Awards, and managers and team mates saying "great job" when I earn it.
Cons
Like all healthcare, this is a busy environment. If you want a job where you sit around and don't do much - this is not the place for you. You work hard but the reward is in seeing our patients go home and be happy, instead of going to a nursing home.
