Pros

Compassionate and hard working staff, excellent facility for brain/spinal cord injury rehab, great benefits, great teamwork

Cons

We are not being heard when suggestions are made. The turnover in the last two years should raise a red flag. They pick and choose who they listen to and take advice from. The loyal staff that have remained are taken for granted in all areas of the hospital. A large majority of staff are currently looking for other jobs. I'm not sure what changed two years ago but Shepherd has gone downhill in regards to their staff. Happy staff=happy customers. We work hard and more often than not the we will go above and beyond. We put ourselves in their shoes.

From Tammy King, Chief Nurse Executive: We are extremely proud of our hard working, dedicated, and caring staff. Without the kind of staff we have in place, Shepherd Center would not be able to provide the world class care for which we are so well known. We have encounted a lot of change over the last two years from upgrades to our electronic records system to complying with increased scrutiny and cost constraints all health care organizations are experiencing. We value all of our staff and make efforts to round with them on a regular basis. Some changes are made immediately as a result of feedback and other requests with greater impacts for other staff and patient care are considered more carefully. We encourage our employees to let us know what they need to help make them successful. We will do our best to provide all the resources and smooth processes needed for success.

Pros

Shepherd Center puts a lot of time and effort into training their therapists to live up to the reputation. There are many benefits and the upper management takes time to make staff feel appreciated.

Cons

I do not have any real cons to mention. I have worked there 5 years and have had an incredible experience. Their pay rates may be average but the experience of working in such an encouraging place makes up for it.

Pros

Most of the people are very nice

Cons

Dietary Managers are the most uncaring, unlikable duo I've ever come across, I would recommend most any other dept, with the exception of this one.

Shepherd Center Vice President with responsibility over Food and Nutrition Services states: The Food Service team works very hard to ensure patients, families, employees, and other guests always have a good selection of menu items served timely and following all of the safe food procedures. It is hard work and sometimes we forget to take the time to appreciate our employees. Our management team acknowledges the need to continually improve their skills and have been working on some new techniques to create a more positive environment. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to feedback that will help us to meet and exceed our goals.
