Pros

Encompass Health Home Health and Hospice is a great company to work for, they really strive to live their mission, "A Better Way to Care". I see this company making great strides in the industry and excelling.

Cons

Some of the supervisors are lacking in professionalism and leading a team with a positive attitude and miss opportunities for teaching instead of fault-finding. Micro-managing is very apparent. If you make a mistake, it's rubbed in your face over and over. Supervisors are incapable of giving a compliment or encouraging their employees when they have done something well.

Pros

Great co-workers. Local management tries to do the right thing, I think. New and clean facility. They will try to work around your personal schedule.

Cons

Confusion, disorganization, overwork. The staff/patient ratios are excessive given the acuity level of our patients. Some of our patients were in an ICU only 2-3 days before! As a very good rule I'll have 8 pts on my team (though sometimes 10) when 6 would be busy. It's not like your average rehab hospital either - it's more like an LTAC or a med/surg floor - or maybe a confused hurricane - only with 8 patients. The patients see less of their nurses and techs as a result and aren't happy with the wait. Whoever designed our facility hadn't a clue as to how build a proper hospital. The halls are REAL long. In an average shift we walk about 12 miles... pushing a 200 lb computer on wheels. But there are plenty of shifts where we break 14 miles. After 12-13+ hours of that you're left wondering if you made a very bad career choice. I could go on a bit longer but let me just say the pay isn't all that great. Benefits are OK but they're scaling back on them too. Accounting for inflation I'm not making that much more than I did as a new grad in 1994!

Pros

This is a large company but with a small hospital "family" feel to it, it's been the best career choice to work here and I plan to stay here for the rest of my career. It's an awesome company! Highly recommend.
