PT struggling to provide quality patient care while maintaining productivity standards with insufficient support

Business Outlook

Pros

job security as company expands and buys out other rehab providers easy to transfer locations within company

Cons

pay freezes for the last 2 years, do not contribute to 401K, make it very difficult to use benefit time (expected to flex time off during the week with weekend coverage), corporate/management have lost touch with realities therapists face in the clinic, emphasis is on revenue not patient care, productivity standards that keep increasing while support to perform job duties are decreasing, atmosphere varies from location to location based on local management

Great when it started, but.....

Pros

Met many great co-workers along the way. There is usually the option of transferring to other buildings.

Cons

Unfortunately, the honeymoon phase of working for Genesis wore off eventually. Overall, I found that the environment really depends on which specific building you work in. You may be a part of a team in which everyone is friendly, helpful, even socializes outside of work, or you end up working in a building where folks are uptight. I agree with other reviewers who mentioned a revolving door of staff. I had several, and I mean SEVERAL, different managers as an employee with Genesis. Seems they just can't hang onto managers for more than a year or so. My biggest disappointment came during my last 2 years working for Genesis. It seemed that more and more was being expected of us as employees, but that Genesis was very unwilling to budge re: hourly rate or any other incentives.
