Pros

Pay is good. Employees are nice. HR person is nice, but needs an assistant.

Cons

The leadership is extremely unorganized. They do not communicate with each other or the staff. The nurse-patient ratio is way too high-5-6/nurse- for such high acuity of care. It is unsafe. Staff is extremely overworked, the turnover rate is very high for management and clinical staff. Everyone gets burned out quickly. There is little orientation or training. Everyone is "fast tracked" to get them working on their own quickly. If a new employee has questions, there is not really anyone who has time to answer. A lot of the staff are travel/temp nurses, and couldn't even answer the questions anyway. They have even less training/orientation than new employees. The computer system is terrible, and there are so many places for errors to be inadvertently made. The company is aware, and does nothing about it. They also use paper charting. Infection runs rampant, and the host hospital does not even want patients from Select coming to their services because they believe they are basically "covered in hospital acquired infectious organisms". The floors in the rooms are filthy. There are deaths and "near misses" nearly every shift because the patients are not getting the level of care they need for how sick they are. I am not even sure how this place is allowed to operate. Do not work here if you value your license.

Pros

Not many pros from my experience.

Cons

Had the chance to work with experienced PTs but no formal mentorship in place for new grads, fair to poor entry level pay with no opportunity for negotiation, the company is number driven which negatively impacts quality of care, reassignment to different clinic locations

Pros

Company is committed to long term relationships with employees that are career minded. Compensation is competitive for similar jobs in this market.

Cons

Company upgrades critical monitoring equipment with refurbished second hand equipment rather than new. Working environment is very challenging and demands the advantages of utilizing the more advanced type of equipment to better ensure patient safety.
