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.

Pros

Flexible schedule, nice coworkers, nice office space

Cons

Horrendously overworked. They kept promising help that never arrived. I felt terrible having to let certain tasks fall by the wayside because I was always drowning. I was afraid to take a day off and worked through illnesses, making it harder to recover. Administrator didnt care.
