Pros

Good PTO, good benefits, loved the other therapists I worked with

Cons

Very micro managed. Tons of a repetitive paper work/charting/filling out the same info multiple times, but the worst part is that it falls on the therapists to get patients “down time” (even if the patient can’t tolerate it). More than half your job will consist of scheduling, figuring out how to get patients 3hrs a day when you’re understaffed, and group therapy for patients that aren’t appropriate for groups. In the end, you feel like you’re always doing something wrong because it is so micro managed. Has nothing to do with therapeutic skills

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
