Current Employee – been working at Kindred Healthcare full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – production employees RN's ,LPN's, CNA's all work very hard.

Cons – This company does not care for its employees especially the ones providing the care and creating the money, It is cutbacks, no raises, no bonuses for the production employees but all the office staff continue to get the hours, benefits and are treated as the best employees.

Advice to Senior Management – There is no management. They draw the money but do not function. This Company lets underling office types call the shots and dictate without recourse. The "HOT LINE" for reporting problems is a JOKE. This company uses the "HOT LINE" to get rid of there whistle blowers. They give out surveys without the mail in envelopes and tell you to turn them back in and they will put them in the envelope. I'm sure the negative ones are reviewed and maybe the worst never makes it to the envelope.

Cons – Greedy execs. Horrible benefits. Take away some bonuses while padding executive pockets. No raises. Maybe they just want us to keep quitting. Ben is not the man I want running this place once Paul turns over the reins.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire some good execs (even though your track record in this area stinks) and quit. Go ruin another company. This place used to be great.
