Pros

Good benefits, can transfer to other hospitals.

Cons

They are very cheap and dont invest in basic needs for patient or therapy supplies. Supplying linens for 2 of 5 day workweek, unsafe temperature, and lacking supplies, time for patients and not paying supportive staff translates into high turnover. Everything is about productivity but they dont pay you for anything that is not billable, like all the secretarial, documentation, clinic maintenance, filing copying, faxing, getting signatures, cleaning, and writing up evaluations for clients that don't or wont get insurance authorizations leading to burnout of therapists that do evaluations etc for clients that either don't have openings in the schedule. It seems unethical to not be transparent to the community and its employees. You'll be expected to get 10 hours worth of work or more done in an eight hour day when the non- clinical things are not scheduled nor accounted for in your day. Now they can't keep qualified staff. The penny pinching is ridiculous when you have to tell the patient to buy their splint on Amazon. This screams cheap.

Pros

Engagement across ITG is low. A significant portion of the workforce is coasting toward retirement, which creates a stagnant environment with little drive or initiative. Compensation is adequate but not compelling enough to offset the cultural inertia

Cons

Stability is an illusion here. Compensation and benefits are underwhelming. PTO starts at 14 days/year and stays there for your first five years. Benefits are below industry standard. No bonus structure to speak of. The deeper issue is structural. In May 2026, HCA posted $1.6 billion in net profit over a single quarter — and responded by laying off hundreds of employees because it was buthurt that Trump stopped the Covid subsidies Let that sink in: a billion-dollar quarter net profit triggered headcount reductions to reduce the payroll, Hundreds of good people lost their jobs overnight in 1 department. Individual performance is irrelevant. It does not matter how much you contribute or how consistently you deliver. A single cost-cutting decision at the C-suite level can eliminate your position overnight. There is no meritocracy here, just exposure to executive whim. If you are looking for career stability or a workplace that values retention, look elsewhere. The culture reflects the incentives — most employees have learned not to invest emotionally in the work, and you can't blame them. When leadership treats headcount as the first lever to pull every time earnings dip, people stop caring and start surviving.
