Pros
Initially, I was excited about working for GRS; they had exceeded my salary requirements when offered the position and I was going to be closer to home to save money on gas.
Kontras
After starting my new job, I was disappointed to say the least. Despite the fact that traveling was not in the job description (or for that matter, communicated in the hiring process), I found myself spending the majority of my time driving between multiple communities (none of which was my "home" site) to cover patient's on caseload, covering at least 50-75 miles each day. Many of which, didn't even have suitable staffing for the growing caseload at each community. Productivity requirements were absolutely unattainable, mostly due to the sheer amount of job duties, including (but not limited to): marketing, caseload growth/development, medical record intake for each new patient, documenting services rendered, auditing & tracking of all disciplines notes, organizing notes chronologically & mailing to Tampa. All of these responsibilities made it impossible for me to actually devote the time and effort to the patients. The working space was very small and made my job all the more difficult. After sticking with it for a year, my coworkers and I were extremely disappointed to find out that all merit raises were frozen for all employees. Managers are focused on being profitable, regardless of the barriers that the therapists faced each day. If you are a therapist who truly cares for the patients, DO NOT WORK FOR GRS. This company will suck all of your enthusiasm out of your job.
