N/A (Current Employee), New Orleans, LA – May 21, 2012
Pros: still trying to think of one...
Cons: no work / life balance, no accountability, always the blame game
If you would like to keep your sanity, stay away! Overworked and underpaid is an understatement. It used to be a nice place to work until about a year ago.
Receptionist, Switchboard Operator, file clerk (Former Employee), Peoria, AZ – May 20, 2012
Pros: was very accomodating with scheduling
Cons: no kitchen ;)
Working for Kindred was wonderful...Great Staff Loved it.. I loved the fact that everyone worked well together and if you needed help someone was always willing to help !
Love Kindred. Best job ever, but see some differences with new management. Time to make a change. Especially with my new life.
Accounts Payable Supervisor/Payroll/Contracts (Current Employee), San Diego, CA – May 19, 2012
My time with Kindred has been outstanding. Love the people and the company. But Management has changed and my life has also changed personally. I need to be closer to my family in the San Diego area. It is a must. Tired of traveling every week. Time to relocate.

Pros: you work 3 days a week
Cons: you never stop once your there

Regional Manager of Field Accounting (Current Employee), Mulitple states – May 14, 2012
Pros: excellent benefit package, and an absolutely great upper management team
Cons: travel
My work day starts at appx 7AM each day and ends at appx 6PM each day. Focus area is Accounts Receivable, DSO and BD. Expectations is to remain at or better than standard, this requires a lot of telephone communications, ensuring systems are in place and monitoring of AR. Over the years "teamwork" is top priorty to success. Co-workers at all level are – more... enjoyable and always willing to help in any area when needed. The hardest part of my current job is the travel and being away from home at a min. of 50% of the time. Most enjoyable are my results – less
Intense place to work, very busy, pays better than most.
Respiratory Therapist (Former Employee), Beaver, PA – May 12, 2012
Pros: better pay
Cons: management
I enjoyed the work that I performed at Kindred, was a busy job, three twelve hour shifts per week which allowed for flexible scheduling. The hardest part of my job was the one and a half hour commute through downtown Pittsburgh. The best part was an all daylight position and the pay was higher than most although there was a lack of uniformity when it – more... came to governing the rules and regulations. Management deficiency. – less
Isn't that against the labor law to have a 30 minute lunch when you are working a 12 hour shift? It would be here in CA.

REHAB TECH (Former Employee), Fort Lauderdale, FL – May 11, 2012
Pros: incentives on payroll, lunch
Cons: short breaks, moral decay
kindred healthcare seemed like a family oriented place when i first started but quickly turned out to be a drama filled environment where people cared more about them selves rather then the patients and familys that trusted them. It became a very hard place to work for after 4 years. But my most enjoyable part of the job was making a difference for – more... the patients and families seeing them walk again or talk or even go to the bathroom on there own and thanking me for putting time in with them stopping by to say hello or sitting with them made a change in me for the better.Management there were in my opinion to buddy buddy with the nurses to install order and values of the company for these patients to be treated fairly at times which made the job hard everyday. But i honestly learned so much being there at kindred healthcare i learned how to love more , how to truly care for someone, how to be kind no matter the circumstance because you truly don t know whos listening or watching. It made me a better person and i thank Kindred Healthcare for that. – less
This is my Review, i will comeback to work, i had a good boss.
Critical Care ICU Nurse (Former Employee), Tampa, FL – May 10, 2012
Pros: free food once a week served by the ceo, also free uniforms, lots of gift during the year.
Cons: we were always busy, and short of staff on the weekends.
At Kindred , i felt the autonomy using all my talent , skills,rendering the best care any patient and family can have during the difficult time of their lives , i 've had the help from the other departments .A typical day at work that i remember , was always so busy, that i did not feel the 12 hrs shift . The hardest part was given a sad news to a significant – more... other. My co-workes were always there to help me that made it enjoyable. – less
ADON, SDC, Staff Nurse (Former Employee), Louisville, KY – May 10, 2012
Great experience getting comfotable with ventilators. The hospital is set up different than any other facility. The environment on the unit I worked was really set up to provide optimal care of the patients. The skilled nursing facility provided experience in dealing with multiple human resource/staffing dynamic situations and will test the individuals – more... ability to think and work outside the box in nursing. – less
Marketing Director (Former Employee), Kokomo, IN – May 8, 2012
Management is out of control. Census is failing. 60-80 hours a week filling out forms and logging in sales calls into databases after having two census calls the same day to go over the same info. Ridiculous. Co-workers were okay although everyone complained about the company constantly, especially after they reduced our vacation and cut hours.
Sr. Administrative Assistant/Project Administrator (Former Employee), Louisville, KY – May 3, 2012
Pros: nice facility
Cons: micromanagement, noisy management
Started off well, and got worse with time. The stress level got so bad that it affected my health and family life. Would not recommend anyone on the job hunt looking at Kindred
