Pros

The patients you work with are nicer than the management

Cons

I worked at Ghent Therapy Center on Granby Street and it was the most horrible experience on a job I have ever had. Management was nasty and didn't know how to manage. If they did they would've realized that the seasoned employees were more concerned with telephone conversations, getting in late, and the social setting instead of working. As a new employee I experienced the worst two-faced, back- biting, knife-in-the-back people I have ever encountered. Not only were they not encouraging, they snitched relentlessly on you for no good reason, everything I did was scrutinized and criticized. When I made mistakes I was constantly told I was going to get fired which didn't do well for the stress level already experienced.

Pros

The team I was on was small but it had good people. My direct manager and her boss were great, but everyone above them were horribly disorganized and incompetent. More on that under cons. Pay was fine, slightly above the average. But raises were inconsistent. The ability to work from home was great. It was rare to be asked to work overtime, so work life balance was good.

Cons

Disorganized upper management who thought they knew better than the folks working in the weeds every day. There were multiple times that they would implement a change that my team would strongly recommend against, but it was shoehorned in anyway. Months later they would come back and say “that was actually a bad idea” and we would have to fix their mistakes, despite warning them against it in the beginning. How well you get trained also depends on your department. My team worked with other teams at Sentara that were often attempting to do things that could have put the company in legal jeopardy, but they were never told not to do it.
