Pros
PTO accrual is generous. Management training is available if an employee is interested.
Cons
All therapists/assistants have productivity demands of 90%, but the company implements more and more policies and activities itself that hinder daily efficiency, such as a repetitive and tedious documentation system, logging outcomes which could easily be drawn from discharge notes, weekly documents to be read on a separate system that takes at least 15 minutes to access and unexpected staff meetings several times a year with management which run at least 25 mins late and last at least an hour and a half a pop. Not only are productivity standards high, but point of service documentation is mandated despite company switching to a hugely flawed mobile system last November. Employee survey overwhelmingly came back that employees feel distrusted and distrustful of upper management-their solution was for us to do quarterly presentations on CEU we have completed. What? When asked how to do this within 90% productivity, ADO shrugs a shoulder. Benefits package has worsened with large deductibles and condescending program to health professionals to keep a lower rate, with recommendations to new mothers such as completing a sleep study due to feeling tired. I have seen an HR employee once in person in three years. Concurrent treatments are not encouraged but expected. Communication along company lines is very poor for such a large corporation. I was hired as a new grad, and after three years the only raise has been a company wide 0.5% raise. Other employees report this was the first in years. My pay scale is definitely on the low end of even the MO average. Ultimately, I am left feeling that the company would rather we be unethical and efficient as when asked for tips on how other buildings supposedly keep their entire rehab departments above 88%, we are answered only with, "They're just rockstars." They being departments with multiple new grads working in a three-floor building with no elevator access. Hmmm.
