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

Decent pay rate but the health insurance is VERY expensive.

Cons

Numbers driven. Micromanagement from directors to push for high productivity. No new hire orientation and given a full caseload day one even if barely oriented to the computer / documentation. Computers frequently malfunction and make POS documentation frustrating. Emphasis on POS decreases quality patient care. Slave like working conditioning and unable to take a decent break for lunch or bathroom. Management forces new hires to work off the clock to complete orientation training courses so that the company does not have to pay for non-billable time. Manager is in your face daily and yelling at you if do not meet productivity and treats you like you are stupid if their malfunctioning computers are the reason. Unethical practices and clinicians crossing ethical lines to meet daily productivity. Typical contract therapy company. High turnover.
