Pros

Go somewhere else. You get ran into the ground. Equipment doesn't work sometimes, so tough luck for you. Just watch yourself and cover your behind. The "business outlook" for this place? Well, it's probably good, since they'll take anybody and since they're so good at screwing people. Companies good at screwing their employees and getting reimbursement all the while not having enough staff is a recipe for 'successful outlook.' There are good people everywhere and people need jobs so there are people on the floor who are caring and compassionate, but those people are probably too busy picking up the slack because there's not enough staff, etc. Those people are probably getting spread very thin so have a heart, they are angels.

Cons

If you can find another employer even if it's far away, I would recommend doing that, seriously. i wouldn't consider staying at 'The Big House' a future for yourself and your family or even much of a future for the patients who have to stay there. If you have loved ones, please don't send them to Kindred. When i was there, i swear there was a mold problem (smell?), the elevator didn't always work, understaffed, etc. When i'm old and tired, i better not ever get sent to Kindred.

Pros

The people I worked with.

Cons

I can say this now that I no longer work there: Kindred was both one of the best and one of the worst places I've ever worked. On one hand, I learned an incredible amount and gained valuable experience that helped me grow as a nurse. On the other hand, I spent nearly every shift worried about the safety of my nursing license due to what I felt were unsafe staffing ratios, some* poor leadership, and decisions that often seemed driven more by finances than patient care. I repaid my sign-on bonus on March 6, yet I'm now receiving letters claiming the payment was never received and threatening legal action. Fortunately, I have proof that the payment was made. What makes this especially frustrating is that I ultimately left because the stress of working there contributed to serious health issues, including a heart condition. I've attached the resignation letter I submitted when I left, as well as my ECG’s I took from my watch while working that resulted in me going to the ER the next day. Everyone's experience is different, but based on my own experience, I would strongly encourage nurses to do their research before accepting a position with Kindred Hospitals or Scion.
