Pros
Genesis Healthcare is the largest long term care provider in the country. There is room for personal growth and advancement within the company. Easy to transfer from one center to another in case of relocation. Regional nursing director for New Jersey was great. Good time off. Met some wonderful hard working individuals that were trying to make a change but were limited by upper management.
Cons
One month notice to be re-hirable. Gap between the training they provide and actual nursing practice and realities of the unit. Complete disconnect between non-nursing management and nursing management. At times disrespectful administrator towards other workers (this is center specific). Attitude from non-nursing management was that of believing that all nurses were "lazy" and did not like change. Would get upset when nurses would stand up and explain that what was asked was outside their scope of practice, "All they care about is their license non nursing management would frequently say". No open communication lines between administrator and other employees. Walking on eggshells not to offend anyone from other departments. Everything fell on nursing, other depts. had no accountability. No tuitition reimbursement, I was lied and told it would be started back again in 6 months and to this day it remains frozen. Insurance is really expensive, specially considering it is a huge healthcare company.
