Pros

Select Medical is a growing company, diversifying itself into many aspects of healthcare. When your particular facility is doing well then then corporate management takes care of you. However when there are struggles they feel like they need to rattle everyone's cages. High turnover has been prevalent since I began my employment. This affects continuity and morale. The facility CEO has a dramatic affect on overall work conditions. A bad one can run everyone into the ground, a great one makes your job enjoyable. Overall they are supportive if you are engaged in company objectives yet often times it is difficult to perform your job when they have Leadership members wearing so many hats. Not much room for growth unless you are in upper, upper management. Like most organizations, you have your politics and favoritism, your performers and non performers. If you fond your niche and are comfortable with it then it is not a bad place to work. Low raise structure for most employer; 3% tops unless you are in the upper management category or a Clinical Liaison.

Cons

Most operations are run on a shoe string budget which doesn't always jive well with patient care needs. Challenging to walk the tight rope of corporate expectations, patient care and staffing requirements. Maintain morale and collaborative efforts between staff and management can be strenuous.

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.
