Pros

Benefits are decent , good team work and compassionate coworkers. Hard -working manager. They start you at 500$ a year for CEU’s and license fees ( but they take about 2-3 months to reimburse you )

Cons

Where to begin... don’t expect a raise. I have been working for this company for 3 years and have gotten a joke of a raise- more embarrassing than anything. I was also told that I will never be making over $40 an hour as an OTR. Looks like I will be looking someone else in a few years... RUGS RUGS RUGS. It’s all about pushing patients to get their 70 minute daily treatments when not always appropriate. The same Medicare B patients being picked up for the same reason due to poor carryover with nursing staff. all Medicare B patients NEED to be seen for 55 minutes ( unless they are on for feeding or orthotics ) No co-treats allowed with this company - no matter what the diagnosis is. I’m told to “grab a tech”. So apparently techs can be therapists too... HR stinks. Expect to be on hold for at least an hour before someone answers or just give up. Point of service documentation = poor therapy and ther ex no matter what to diagnosis is. You are forced to keep people on the clock during transports and paperwork (writing orders , changing care plans) due to the high productivity and inability for the techs to transport patients. On days where you are productive- there’s no compensation for being above the expectation. So , if you’re 90% productive and only worked 7:15 minutes, you get nothing for being above the 85% expectation and leaving 45 mins early. Leaving early over the course of the year adds up. It makes you NOT want to be productive. PTO accrual stinks. 16 days a year ( that’s if you work 40 hours a week - which you aren’t always guaranteed ) You are forced to use PTO if you take a day off.

Pros

Almost everyone is friendly. This company has treated me better than any company I worked for since I became a PTA. This company seems more fair and ethical than most of the companies I worked for as a PTA. The nursing home employees get along better with the RehabCare employees than I have seen when a different rehab company was providing the rehab workers at a nursing home.

Cons

Census level changes quickly and often. Since I am PRN that means many of my shifts are cancelled or cut short. There is usually not much notice. The locations that need my help tend to be 10-22 miles from home. Occasionally I work at some farther than that. The company is disorganized. There are many error in the programs on our iPads and delays in getting certain types of pay on our paychecks. I do trust the company to try to correct these errors. We are paid only twice a month. The company is overly concerned with productivity. The employees who have benefits say they are not good.
