Pros

Guild reimbursement for CEUs, great clinicians.

Cons

It’s gotten so bad that most therapists are leaving. Sentara no longer cares about quality of care, nor their therapists well being. They require you to take PTO for holidays instead of paying holiday pay like other hospital systems. They force long monthly meetings that are required to review metrics and pretend it’s team bonding, yet count it against your productivity. They demand marketing, but also count it against your productivity. Major issues with central scheduling that administration chooses to ignore, leaving therapists with either productivity hits or being doubled. They removed paid documentation and we have a 30 minute lunch in between patient doubles. Our pay structure was changed with one day notice from salary to hourly. There’s absolutely no time in the day to accomplish the required admin tasks because you are slammed with patients. It’s a PT mill at best, which is absolutely wild given the reimbursement rates sentara receives as a nonprofit hospital compared to a private practice. This place is corrupt, corporate greed at its finest.
