Pros

The PTs/PTAs and OTs/COTAs are incredibly skilled and knowledgable. The therapists that see patients care a lot about providing high quality care and maintaining patient dignity and autonomy. Caseload is complex and interesting.

Cons

Terrible culture. Rehab dept management are incompetent and have no incentive to improve. Lots of micro-management and gas-lighting. Odd power dynamics between certain floor therapists and supervisors. Dept management push the incentive of hospital administration and don't support or advocate for the team providing care. Poor treatment of select employees. One supervisor has been reported for toxic behavior on multiple occasions and the DOR has done nothing about it. Supervisors will support you and uplift you.. but only if they like you. Wouldn't recommend for new grads. Constantly implementing new initiatives without seeing them through. No meaningful, positive change happens within the department. Requiring OTs and PTs to work more weekends per 3 month period than competing hospitals. Terrible health coverage.

Pros

The job was fantastic and I very much enjoyed everything we did. The hours were great and it was the perfect distance from my home.

Cons

They waited until 4 days before my probation period was up, and brought me in a room with two supervisors and a random nurse and terminated me because “ I’m not a good fit for the team”. They say my clinical skills are impeccable and no one from the hospital had any complaints about me in any way. A few people decided for me that my personality was too big for their team to handle. That says a lot about management there. I’ve NEVER been terminated in 26 years as a paramedic, but I come to UNM with a big personality and they cannot handle it.
