Pros
Although each worksite experience may vary somewhat based on the skills & experience of the DOR, the company core values are being extraordinary, doing the right thing, loving what you do, and making a difference. While recent CMS changes (Oct 2010 & Oct 2011) have drastically reduced reimbursment in SNF settings to rehab providers, Hallmark stands out as one of a few rehab companies who hasn't slashed salaries or employee wages. Instead of increasing productivity expectations they have tried to roll out additonal technology to make things more efficient. I like that I'm not ever asked to do anything unethical - and I've been pleased by all the clinical resources I have to make sure I'm the best therapist I can be.
Cons
In comparison to other industries our medical benefits seem to be a higher cost. But when I compare to what other therapists are having to pay for medical benefits it really isn't much different. IT connectivity has been a problem - probably due to rolling out so much all at once, but seems to be getting gradually better.
