A supportive place to make an impact!
Feb 21, 2023 - Marketing and CommunicationsRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Shepherd Center is everything I thought it would be and more. The culture of hope, humor, and hardwork is true! Everyone can impact patient's lives and the organization -- leadership is open to ideas and has the agility to make things happen. It's also very supportive -- I've gotten personal calls and messages from the CEO and other senior leaders thanking me for my work. Where else do you find that?
Cons
I can't think of any.

Come for the experience, stay for the patients
Mar 11, 2023 - Physical Therapy/Rehab AideRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The patients. If you are patient centered this place will be a great fit.
Cons
Not inclusive when it comes to cultural competency of employees. Inappropriate remarks from the rehab team and very critical of performance (coming from a person with seven years experience in the setting)
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
No place like Shepherd - it's the mission
Jan 19, 2023 - DirectorRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
All around great place - singular focus of patients and families, they spend time hiring the right people for roles so they stick - not much turnover, lots of long time staff.
Cons
Commute for some - being next to Piedmont, its a very busy area - parking will be a challenge during the construction

Great mission achieved at the expense of employees
Jan 22, 2023 - TherapyRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The retirement plan 403b is great. The overall mission of Shepherd is great and it is clear everyone there has bought into it from the top down.
Cons
Therapy roles (PT, OT, SLP, Rec) have very high expectations but are not supported or recognized by management - although there was variation between disciplines and individual managers. There was almost constant turn over in most departments throughout my time there.
Shepherd Center Response
Sr. Recruiter
At Shepherd Center we are very focused on our patients' outcomes. It takes all of us in every department to assist and do our part in the patient's rehabilitation journey. We do indeed have high expectations of ourselves/employees so that our patients and their families receive the greatest gains they can from being a patient at Shepherd Center. Healthcare of turnover in the past few years has been out of control. I am pleased to share Shepherd Center's turnover is below the national average in healthcare. We also love 'boomerangs" - Employees who leave, and return to our awesome, mission centered workplace.
