Cool hospital, low respect for employees

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Cutting edge hospital with incredible clinicians able to treat severe cases. Great location and beautiful building.

Cons

Management only cares about filling beds and less about quality of care. Quality goes down when employees are not paid well and treated as replaceable. Recent vacation policy change was massively unpopular. Employees who are not white are treated differently with difficulty to advance due to "favoritism".

Pros

SRAlab is a good company to start your career with as it is a great resume builder being the #1 acute rehab. Good experience as SRAlab takes patients across the world. Wonderful peer support.

Cons

Caseloads continue to increase with no salary raise or additional Care Managers hired. Upper management does not listen to the departments concerns about quality of care declining; they just want the beds filled. Compensation - salary is significantly lower than what the market offers. Manager has never been a Care Manager before, therefore does not know our role or understand how to advocate for the department. Favoritism, defensiveness, inconsistency and poor time management are evident in leadership style. Very limited clinical development opportunities.
