Vantaggi
Working with the residents is very fulfilling. You get to meet a lot of new and interesting people, from all walks of life, and some of them claim a piece of your heart forever.
Some of the staff are absolutely incredible. Caring and loving nurses, CNA's, therapy department, and admissions.
Svantaggi
Human resource department does not keep anything you say private, even if you insist. Regional VP and facility ED value the corporation only-"employee loyalty is to the company, not the patients". Patients are on a "turn and burn" level, which means they are just money for the company...not humans that are in the facility for rehabilitation and care. Employees are disposable and are treated as such. I was told "you care too much, you need to harden your heart to be successful here". Care complaints/concerns are swept under the rug. Only necessary to follow state regulations if the state surveyors are present. Management/corporate will find any way possible to terminate you if your loyalty is with your patients, if you contact your HR with a problem with management/policy/health issue, and you cannot trust admin to call state for an abuse complaint-just do it YOURSELF!
