Pros

Good benefits, can transfer to other hospitals.

Cons

They are very cheap and dont invest in basic needs for patient or therapy supplies. Supplying linens for 2 of 5 day workweek, unsafe temperature, and lacking supplies, time for patients and not paying supportive staff translates into high turnover. Everything is about productivity but they dont pay you for anything that is not billable, like all the secretarial, documentation, clinic maintenance, filing copying, faxing, getting signatures, cleaning, and writing up evaluations for clients that don't or wont get insurance authorizations leading to burnout of therapists that do evaluations etc for clients that either don't have openings in the schedule. It seems unethical to not be transparent to the community and its employees. You'll be expected to get 10 hours worth of work or more done in an eight hour day when the non- clinical things are not scheduled nor accounted for in your day. Now they can't keep qualified staff. The penny pinching is ridiculous when you have to tell the patient to buy their splint on Amazon. This screams cheap.

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
