Cons

If you get stuck watching the 5150s, it can get very boring. Hard to stay awake sometimes.

Union employees run the place, HR even defends all employees no matter how wrong they are. Upper management treats the lower management like crap, they don't care whether the employees have a life at all.

Cons

Poor Communication from management.

Cons

Cons

Management needs to communicate better with employees

Cons

There is a toxic culture among therapists at the Poway location. It feels like middle school where certain cliques think they are better than others and give others a hard time, such as telling you how to do your job and talking behind your back. Even after reporting these bullies to HR and manager, no change occurred. New grads are not welcomed by all and are constantly being judged as if perfection was required immediately. You may be blamed for something which was actually someone else's mistake and they reported you instead to cover themselves. Pro tip: rehab aide must be regularly bribed before she will consider assisting you.

On another note, although productivity level seems lower than other SNFs, everyone works through their lunch and after they clock out to complete documentation on a redundant system (CERNER). Wheelchairs and parts are mismatched and dangerous to both therapist and patient. Charge nurses who don't care and won't crack a smile.

Steer clear, physical and occupational therapists!

Cons

Lack of vision and ability to execute the basics. Debt burden draining the life out of operations. Quality issues abound. Might be best to wait for a new leadership team before jumping in here.

Cons

Lack of communication from managers.

Cons

Challenging aspects of working here: at times challenging regulatory environment and organizational reaction. Growing pains of the community-based multi facility Health system
