Pros

There are no pros with this company.

Cons

- Once you reach management level you have to work onsite 3x/week, no extra compensation is provided even for those living 30+ minutes away near their original location. - They provide lunch and breakfast for onsite employees once a week but is a benefit that wouldn't be possible to provide every employee due to their location not having enough space. Is not great to have a benefit that not everyone would even be able to take part in. - There are a few who are not this way but too many of the managers back up corporate's toxic rules rather than fight for what the employees they manage deserve. - They regularly add new hospitals, merge teams and do other movement that creates more work and responsibilities for the salaried employees but when this happens there is never an increase in pay to match the increased work load. They do however expect for these employees to then work 50-60 hours (if I worked this much I would make less an hour than I did before receiving this promotion) to meet these unrealistic deadlines. - CEO Mark Tarr makes over $8 million a year but pays as low as $14 an hour for employees who then struggle to feed their families. - The company made over $500 million in net worth in 2024 and instead of investing some of that money into paying their employees they overwork fair compensation, they decided instead to open more hospitals thus creating more work for their already overworked employees. - During their management training they openly discourage the talk of and idea of unions. It was discouraged in a way that was most likely illegal. - They discourage the individuality of their employees and encourage the idolization of corporate. - Any crumb that is provided to you will be used as leverage if you ever push back on any of their toxic and abusive procedures. - HR, and some managers, will only attempt to gaslight and redirect blame in your direction if any issues are brought up. - They state things like how a degree will be worked into a higher compensation but then don't support those claims with following through. - Experience is not considered when it comes to your pay. You could have been in a role for years and end up being paid less than someone who was hired to that role yesterday. - The only department I have ever heard getting changes in their pay due to inequality in pay is the training department. Other than that HR will dismiss your complaints and state there is nothing they can do. There is favoritism in play. - In the eyes of corporate and higher management any issue that occurs is blamed on the employees, never the processes or abusive culture. - They state they are open to hearing feedback and will work on creating a better work environment but during the 4 years I have worked here they continue to get worse despite how the same issues are brought up every year but many employees.

Pros

Good initial training, good/dedicated floor workers, pay is a bit higher than other places.

Cons

Poor staff to patio ratio, overworked, unsafe work load, unable to provide quality care or all assigned tasks, high turnover, dollar is the bottom line. Care more about profits than reasonable care. Their corporate says all the right things but is not ethical. Company was formerly Health South. The company was guilty of Medicaid/ Medicare fraud. Billions of dollars worth. They created an imaginary diagnosis then went patient shopping to find patients who could meet the imaginary diagnosis. Find anything and everything to bill for even if not truly needed.

Pros

Income is the only pro

Cons

Hi, turnover rate with staff both inside all of the Encompass locations as well as outside as a liaison. If you enjoy marketing, this is not for you. Most of your time will be spent in front of a computer and when you are done qualifying a patient for acute rehab you will most likely have the Medical director of each location deny the patient based off of insurance, or homelessness, or any kind of psych history, including depression. This causes the liaisons to feel that they are not able to help the patients and community that they serve. Poor training, poor leadership not many much room for advancement
