As with most large, corporatized healthcare companies there's a revolving door when it comes to field professionals. Why is this? Speaking for the McKinney, Texas branch and my experience there it was absolutely the most toxic work environment I have ever encountered in my very long healthcare career. There was always a looming corporate culture of greed and disregard for the workers on the front line making the executives a lot of money. In particular, there were two corporate level employees who had regular contact with those of us at the branch level who were shockingly unprofessional. In the case of the regional therapy manager, I have never seen a more unprofessional, unqualified person in that level of management. It's pretty clear there must have been either nepotism or "good old boy" favors getting him to and staying in that position. The other was a nurse educator. On two separate occasions her presentations included blatant homophobic references and false, misleading information shared with the intent of giving field level employees a false level of trust before dropping the hammer shortly thereafter (firing all full-time therapists) at the start of the pandemic. We lost all benefits and were offered embarrassingly low reimbursement for the PRN work we were offered. Therapists, if you are considering this company as an employer, DON'T. Otherwise make sure that you firmly negotiate your area of coverage, productivity expectations, and rate of pay and get EVERYTHING in writing. If you're a relative newcomer to home health or perhaps a new grad I can't imagine you'd stay with this company for the long haul.
