Pros

Wonderful friendly therapists and flexible hours. The therapists are very committed to helping their patients in any way they can (despite productivity).

Cons

It is about money and not quality care. Have to put vacation time in 3 to 6 months ahead of time. Raises frozen for therapists this year.

Pros

CEU's accessible to obtain through company. But, not always sent to your professional organization.

Cons

If you do not meet the hours you are expected to work, your hired status could be reduced taking away your benefits on a quarterly basis. How would that work for a therapist that is pregnant when full-time and if caseload goes down this person can lose their medical benefits or education reimbursement. Management allows program managers to show favoritism, be ignorant to their therapists, dictate who to evaluate or not (due to no dollars left for Med B coverage,) adjust minutes giving more to assistants and reprimand employees on personality traits not based on performance in treatment or diagnostic skills, expected to travel between a number of facilities to fill hours, expect therapists to keep productivity and efficiency; however, they want every minute accounted for with all assessment evaluations, progress & weekly notes completed in therapy session and if you do not record all time on premise you can be fired. Time to unionize? I.

Pros

Competitive pay not much else.

Cons

Terrible work/life balance - so many restrictions on taking your earned time off. GRS has a policy for restricting PTO during the summer months and during the holidays that makes it impossible to spend time with your family or just have time for yourself. Oh, and please don't get sick, that's really frowned upon as well. Awful management - there's really been a culture shift at GRS within the last year or so. Management has the facade of putting the patients first, but you can really tell that with the changes coming to reimbursement, management is simply worried about the bottom line of the company. Management doesn't listen to suggestions, complaints, or concerns of employees. Unrealistic expectations - as the director of a rehab department you are expected to be EVERYTHING for the department and maintain at least 60-70% productivity. Absolutely impossible with all of the ridiculous tasks they have you completing. And there is absolutely ZERO incentive to be a rehab manager at the facility level - you're there workhorse with absolutely ZERO gratitude from the company. I've worked for this company for over a decade now and it's a shame to see how far down it has gone. Used to be above the rest, now just mediocre at best. Used to have a really high ethical standard, now turns it's head to reports of unethical behavior. Insurance benefits are outrageous. High premiums for little coverage. Definitely would not recommend unless you need the money.
