Pros

The only thing is that the pay is decent, otherwise there are NO pros....

Cons

Benefits suck Management shows no compassion for employees with families Bottom line is their profit margin over patient and staff safety and satisfaction Unsafe CNA and nurse to patient ratios due to the complexity of care required State should do a "spot-check" often especially on night shift ex: ONE CNA to 28 patients and/ or 4 nurses to 28 patients with high acuity levels on ventilators etc?? Wilmington facility has surpassed $$$ with some of the corp. highest profitable months, all done by the hard work of CNAs and nurses, but no recognition or bonuses for us little ones. CEO receives big bonuses, creating very selfish and greedy administrators. And soon much more......

Pros

-Excellent patient care -Continuous training for care givers -Clinical staff genuinely care about their patients -Proper emphasis placed on patient safety -HIH facilities can easily transfer to host ICU(s)

Cons

-Noticeable change in patient care strategy when SEM became publically traded. -Daily Patient Conversion meetings became focused on financial income rather than patient outcomes. -Patient marketing and admissions prioritized by "pay for performance". -Extreme pressure placed on case managers to discharge patients in order to receive full reimbursement from Medicare. -Core values do not apply to corporate executives. Specifically: “We treat others as we would like to be treated” and “We are team players”. I’ve experienced several teleconferences in which our well educated and extremely knowledgeable local executive team had been berated and belittled by a Senior VP when profit margins and census were not met. Soon after I watched the entire team trickle out in a span of three months and move on to different ventures. The corporate office has since replaced our dream team with inexperienced, power-hungry, reputation-damaging androids.
