Pros

My building's therapy team is strong and is like family.

Cons

1. Low pay with miniscule pay raises of 0.5 to 1%. Even PRN is low compared to other contract companies. 2. No hazard pay for therapists on COVID units. Only a 1 time bonus to thank us. 3. Being forced to travel to other buildings due to staffing issues with minimal compensation. 4. Group/concurrent expectations are not realistic, especially with 35 minutes of treatment and with bedbound patients.

Thank you for your feedback. We're proud of the teamwork and compassion for others our employees have shown through the incredibly difficult time of the pandemic. Some travel to other communities is required to maintain full-time status if census is low in a particular building. Salaries have been rising very fast and we strive to stay competitive. We understand the changes are challenging and we've taken a variety of steps to retain and recruit staff including pay raises, bonuses, flexible schedules. - Deb Bragg, Chief HR Officer

Pros

Pros? You get a paycheck.

Cons

Micromanaging from higher ups. Unrealistic expectations for productivity given the staffing, support, and patient skill level. Significant pressure on staff to clock out while working to save productivity. Treatment time to the bare minimum so patients who need more therapy don’t get more. Spreads staff as thin as possible then complains when they can’t meet expectations. And somehow convinced employees to lie on Glassdoor to write 5 star reviews to get their ratings up because I’ve never met a single employee for this company who even thinks this company is mildly good let alone worthy of five stars. Every five star review since January is suspicious to me.
