Pros

Helping patients/clients/volunteers. Seeing patients improve. Connections with patients. Any and all things related to the patient improving, healing, becoming independent... Therapy techniques, creative methods for therapy, recreational ideas for patients/clients.

Cons

Lack of diversity, equity and inclusion. Low paying for any and all staff unless you're a Senior Management representative and/or a white employee. Minorities are paid properly or even given more opportunities to advance. Corporate culture needs help as it only cares about its reputation in the public and not actually doing what's right for its staff.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your comments. Over the past three years, we have conducted numerous compensation assessments resulting in organization-wide fair and equitable pay adjustments. You state "minorities are paid properly," so that's slightly confusing. Over the past year, we've realized a positive impact as a result of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council efforts. And we're looking forward to assessing the results of our currently active employee survey to continue our efforts in maintaining and encouraging a culture of employee engagement and satisfaction. Best regards, Shepherd Center Human Resources

Pros

Tight knit group of healthcare professionals that work together to provide the best care for patients. They cared very much and always worked hard (& paid extra money) to ensure the whole hospital is well staffed.

Cons

For me, it’s a long drive. Besides that, I had no complaints.
