Terrible management - Recensione dipendente - Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) presso Dimensions Living

Great star rating, open hiring

Owners are very demanding and do not have realistic expectations. Holiday pay is non-existent, so employees have to use PTO for any holiday time off.

- high pay - nearly 3 weeks vacation after 90 days - hefty new hire bonus - 5 star facility (at the moment)

- heavy workload - rarely have teamwork - no consequences for CNAs who dont do what they are told - management in the building is clueless/helpless/worthless when it comes to helping their employees care for patients - management company (Dimensions Corporation) singular concern is cutting the budget/maximizing profits - management in the building does not give a damn about the patients as they all have been told by Dimensions that money is the only concern - high turn-over among all staff positions - different wages among employees with the same job title - management in the building is very demanding of staff yet does not offer any help nor solutions to problems - frequent staffing cuts for the staff actually caring for patients, yet management is way, way over-staffed, with some managers simply coming to work to sit in a meeting, then go out to lunch, then sit and gossip with other managers until they leave early to go home - they are on their 3rd Director of Nursing in less than 12 months. Current Director of Nursing has never been a Director before and is over-worked, over-whelmed, under-trained, responsible for things she was never trained for nor prepared for and was basically thrown to the wolves to be the scape-goat for everything that was going to go wrong once Dimensions started drastic budget cutting, staff reductions and position eliminations. - poor communication among floor nurses - some nurses feel they do everything and announce to co-workers how overworked they are while the nurses *actually* doing all the work never say a word - poor follow-up by floor nurses, many just want to do bare minimum and wont do anything they consider "extra" but is actually a part of their regular job - doctors who run every unecessary test/lab/procedure they can think of just to cover their arses, which contributes to nurses being over-worked/burned-out - poor pain management, especially of patients who really need stronger meds in order to participate fully in their care - even poorer wound care management, no wound/treatment nurse, floor nurse expected to do all wounds, no follow-up - even poorer poorer wound doctor, who seems uninterested in her job and whose main interest is how fast she can get in and out of the building the one day a week she comes to our facility. - overall burned-out/super depressing culture - zero employee engagement - zero comraderie amongst employees, nobody gives a crap about each other - zero incentives to perform your job highly, zero recognition of employees who actually do their job and go above and beyond
