Pros

Working with pts and making a difference in their quality of life

Cons

-routinely asked to work outside scope of practice ( carry out progress notes and discharges independently as well as complete all documentation including assessment and reasons for skilled therapy) with concerns being minimized and dismissed -assigned pts outside scope of competency with concerns for pt care and safety being dismissed and gaslighted until escalated to upper management (who also did not offer practical or ethical solution) -"training" in the form of mere shadowing required unexpectedly in entirely different specialty at reduced pay rate -inadequate support and communication from "supervising" PTs -disorganized, overwhelmed management -told they wanted to "provide support" while continuing to provide no or inadequate support -supervisors never reported known positive patient feedback -referrals generated not tracked or acknowledged

Pros

many job opportunities due to staff leaving

Cons

Restricted use of earned PTO as a whole department PT/OT/ST and not due to limited coverage. Staff burn out when unable to use earned PTO. Area Director out of touch with employee satisfaction/dissatisfaction. Daily group and concurrent expectations. Horrible Health benefits
