Pros

Great coworkers. Patients are great.

Cons

Bullying and toxic work culture. Speak up and you will be retaliated against. This is Kindred’s culture regardless of what they tell you. They have a hotline for concerns, but calling it is like calling an answering machine and leaving a message that never gets communicated, as the bullying retaliatory culture continues. Patients that come in are not appropriate and belong in lower level care settings, but if they have Medicare or Medicaid, they are kept to maximize profits. Run - don’t walk away. Prioritize your license vs your salary. It’s not worth it. Guarantee Kindred will not be in business in another year in the Chicago area. There are way better options out there.

Pros

The people I worked with.

Cons

I can say this now that I no longer work there: Kindred was both one of the best and one of the worst places I've ever worked. On one hand, I learned an incredible amount and gained valuable experience that helped me grow as a nurse. On the other hand, I spent nearly every shift worried about the safety of my nursing license due to what I felt were unsafe staffing ratios, some* poor leadership, and decisions that often seemed driven more by finances than patient care. I repaid my sign-on bonus on March 6, yet I'm now receiving letters claiming the payment was never received and threatening legal action. Fortunately, I have proof that the payment was made. What makes this especially frustrating is that I ultimately left because the stress of working there contributed to serious health issues, including a heart condition. I've attached the resignation letter I submitted when I left, as well as my ECG’s I took from my watch while working that resulted in me going to the ER the next day. Everyone's experience is different, but based on my own experience, I would strongly encourage nurses to do their research before accepting a position with Kindred Hospitals or Scion.
