Pros

Met many great co-workers along the way. There is usually the option of transferring to other buildings.

Cons

Unfortunately, the honeymoon phase of working for Genesis wore off eventually. Overall, I found that the environment really depends on which specific building you work in. You may be a part of a team in which everyone is friendly, helpful, even socializes outside of work, or you end up working in a building where folks are uptight. I agree with other reviewers who mentioned a revolving door of staff. I had several, and I mean SEVERAL, different managers as an employee with Genesis. Seems they just can't hang onto managers for more than a year or so. My biggest disappointment came during my last 2 years working for Genesis. It seemed that more and more was being expected of us as employees, but that Genesis was very unwilling to budge re: hourly rate or any other incentives.

Pros

Competitive benefits and salary with strong managerial organization within facilities. Typical productivity requirements with travel required as needed to meet same.

Cons

Inadequate computer availability for documentation with requirement to utilize ITOUCH system which is insufficient to complete good notes, evaluations. Pressure to expand services despite inadequate patient base. Lack of opportunity to work with other disciplines in a team approach, with emphasis on getting "your" minutes "done", rather than a concern for patient progress and well-being.

Pros

Outstanding level of skill/knowledge possessed by the therapists in the rehab department and entire therapy department works as a team to provide best patient care possible. Salary/compensation is reasonable and fair.

Cons

Poor communication from administation to employees, unrealistic productivity standards when combined w/ amt of documentation that is required on a daily/patient basis. Documentation demands continue to increase and management is taking away therapist clinical judgement when assessing and providing patient care by the heavily reliance on documentation. Increasing amount of therapy based decisions are the result of outcomes of documentation and not on therapist judgement based on individual patient symptoms/presentation. Mgmt does not respect opposing views/opinions and if you are a person who does not "conform" to mgmt views you are targetted for dismissal. Every staff person who expressed independent or opposing views to mgmt have been "forced" to leave the company (4 therapy staff within 1 year). Management has been "caught" in falsehoods on several ocassions during telephone conversations, email communications, and during face to face meetings. Career advancement potential is limited. Management is reluctant to interview/consider employees for upperward mobility if employ is willing to express own mind.
