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.
