Bad leadership and Worst HR Department

Pros

Pay is good but only if you have been with them for decades.

Cons

The leadership and management will use you and throw you away like a rag. The staff is incredibly lazy. No one is willing to work. They just want to come in, spend time, get paid for just showing up their faces. KEEP DOING THIS FOR YEARS AND GET INCREMENTS. Salaries and bonuses are not performance based. Rather years worked at Legacy based. So no need to do any hard work just stick around and sit around and get paid. They should have signs up at main entrance saying ' Heavenly abode for Lazy people. Come and sit on your behinds forever.' WORK HERE IF YOU LOVE TO GOSSIP. Gossip and chatter is all employees do. I dont blame them. They have to do something while sitting around or it will get boring. Its not like their salaries depend on any performances or targets. The Departments work in silos with hardly any teamwork towards achieving any company initiatives. Lack lustre work environment. If you want to work and learn and achieve something at work, go find another company.

Pros

pay is adequate, but not great.

Cons

Therapists are hourly and they make you "flex" when you don't have a patient. So there are hours you are sitting around not getting paid because they didn't fill your schedule for you or a patient cancelled. Benefits are not good. There is no continuing education. There are no paid holidays or sick time. There is only accrued time off and it accrues on 5 year schedules. It is around 2 weeks the first 5 years, then 3 weeks for years 6-10 then 4 for years 10 on. There is no continuing education money. You may luck out and get a "free" spot when they host a course, but you have to work it. They pool the con ed funds with nursing, and nursing being a much bigger department gets most of the funds. One or two therapists will get one weekend course every year. In Washington you need 24 hours to renew your license. They have an outside agency that manages work comp and medical leave. Their role seems to be to deny or try not to pay you. Even if you buy the extra disability insurance, they find ways not to pay any benefits. They pay short and long term disability once a month. The first payment is after you have already been off for at least 7 weeks depending on the pay periods, it could be 9 weeks. Then you get your check to find they have found a loophole and you aren't going to get any benefits. They recently laid off a lot of clinical staff, then created new upper management positions. The new CEO is focused only on money. She isn't a physician and has no medical background. Her main focus is cutting costs so that she and upper management can enjoy salary increases and bonuses.
