Pros

* Great mission * Sweet treats served regularly (also a Con) * Changes planned for a few years down the road * Fair pay (if you stick to hours assigned, and don't "volunteer" your life away to meet work goals)

Cons

* Vertical company that leads from the top without trust in their hires -- no delegation or authority shared * Outdated, old fashioned structure and management * Style and culture backward, a few decades. Things you take for granted now days are not there * All systems broken. Currently working to get new systems, but extremely slow and uninformed * High demand for output without reality-check. Employees cannot achieve goals with resources provided but are still held accountable for them. * Hiring is based on who knows who, and often based solely on shared faith group, not talent, experience, education * Ridiculous rules that have nothing to do with job requirements, such as menial tasks unrelated to job. * High-level managers allowed to use poor management with little oversight or guidance. Most have not had prior experience other than within the company. They base decisions on narrow experience without education or knowledge of better methods * Insufficient training for managers and positions * Broken trust shown in all areas and levels of management. They do not keep their word. They do not provide support for employees. They do not genuinely listen or take advisor e to heart. They do not consider employee input valuable. They pay heed only to higher management, who do not get around to learn what is happening beneath them. * Management makes no effort to meet employees and know them. * Management allows bullies in the workplace. They do not investigate complaints or take any action to resolve issues.

Pros

I worked with Advent Health back in 2003, At Sunbelt, Across from Florida Hospital on Rollins before the expansion and the current car garage was built. My Skilled Nursing Facility and Rehab was there in that location before the expiration, Advent was a wonderful company to work for, and when I had to separate from them it was very hard to do, I loved my work with the peoplel and the patients.

Cons

It was hard to work in a older facility that was not as up to date as many of the others. Even though we were right next to Florida Hospital and we were their immediate rehab facility of discharge choice, especially when there was respiratory therapy involved.
