Pros

My pay is good , I'm a highschool dropout and they didn't really look at my resume so much as they looked at me as a competent individual. The majority of the people I work with, I love to work with. They're really great. I was hired as a receptionist and quickly given a higher position (even though I am still getting paid as a receptionist and have gotten no training for my new position). The people who work for Kindred /outside of my facility/ all seem like great, helpful people.

Cons

People in charge so scared of going over budget I can't make orders the last week of the month practically. There are never enough supplies in the building for our residents because of this. When I am not told to order things and it is questioned, those telling me not to order deny this and are believed, of course. Everything that happens is very hush-hush. There is a serious lack of communication and a serious disconnect between the real workers and the higher-up. One person is told this while another is told that, et cetera. People are coming and going all the time, every day. Half of the employees here can't take the constant changes and the sneaky meetings and all of the nonsense that comes with a for-profit organisation. I am doing two jobs that I wasn't given more than a day's training to learn how to do, and even though I've totally turned around the Central Supply system, scored an Excellent in my section for our internal audit, I am STILL receiving my hired wage (I was hired as a Receptionist, and I do 2+ jobs now where I am still being paid to answer phones). The management is only looking out for themselves. Not the residents, not the people who make this place work, but themselves. I hate coming to work every day.

Pros

The people I worked with.

Cons

I can say this now that I no longer work there: Kindred was both one of the best and one of the worst places I've ever worked. On one hand, I learned an incredible amount and gained valuable experience that helped me grow as a nurse. On the other hand, I spent nearly every shift worried about the safety of my nursing license due to what I felt were unsafe staffing ratios, some* poor leadership, and decisions that often seemed driven more by finances than patient care. I repaid my sign-on bonus on March 6, yet I'm now receiving letters claiming the payment was never received and threatening legal action. Fortunately, I have proof that the payment was made. What makes this especially frustrating is that I ultimately left because the stress of working there contributed to serious health issues, including a heart condition. I've attached the resignation letter I submitted when I left, as well as my ECG’s I took from my watch while working that resulted in me going to the ER the next day. Everyone's experience is different, but based on my own experience, I would strongly encourage nurses to do their research before accepting a position with Kindred Hospitals or Scion.
