Pros

Flexibility is the only thing that I can truly note as a pro working for this company. At first, everything and everyone seems like a true team and will work with you (and then time shows true colors)

Cons

High schoolers are making more working at McDonalds vs someone with a college degree; slap in the face yearly pay increases (less than 10 cents); to get promoted or be simply acknowledged you have to be "in" with the right people, or be a brown noser; management does not really care about their company's patients and why we are there it's only about meeting goal and looking good. You have to be fake and put on a show or you get picked at by management (even if you go above and beyond completing tasks). They say they welcome ideas, but that's incorrect; their way is the ONLY way. They don't truly appreciate their workers; we are Expendables.

Pros

The pay is better than most places- but for a reason. Rehab team fabulous.

Cons

Greedy for-profit system. Benefits are terrible. Unsafe patient assignments. This patient population is critically ill, unstable, and often come with infections, pressure injuries and other conditions they acquired at the sending hospital. Most packed ICUs send patients here when they aren’t progressing fast enough or about to die. You often have 5 of these patients at a time on ventilators, critical drips, complex wound treatments, etc. Due to high staff turnover you are often working with a staff who was rushed through orientation and hired with no acute care experience. Their clinical liaisons often withhold or fail to assess for pertinent information prior to them arriving and they often make promises to the families and patients that are untrue (they get paid bonuses to bring in patients- regardless of their outcomes). If you become a charge nurse expect to have a full patient assignment while rounding with providers, running codes, and doing admissions. Don’t expect support from your local leadership team as their expectations from the regional team are too high and they are also overburdened with responsibilities.
