Signature Healthcare Employer Reviews

When I first went to work there I thought it was going to be an awesome place to work. After the second week I was told it was very important to protect yourself and watch your back. This made me very uncomfortable. I worked in Dietary for crying out loud! The supervisor Patricia Howell was very predigest and did not know or want to cross train employees, – more... this makes for the perfect formula for failure. By doing so it puts the residents needs aside. The kitchen is a mess, food needs major improvement and job descriptions is followed by the staff so closely, that they won’t go out of the way to help someone else or a resident.
The attention that some of the nurses and CNO give the residents is very lax.
Employees are always talking about some other employee, making false accusations. This is a place where residents are the main concern, not someone’s social life.
I’m not surprise there aren’t more discrimination lawsuits against this facility.

Poor management, by Sheldon Cowan and Tamie Strickland. They could be educated when it comes to handling special situations. – less

Works well with your schedule to accompany school schedules and family events.

Co-workers I had personal pleasure. Of working with made it tolerable . Other units were known to over work those poor RN's until they were ready to collapse some days. Unfortunately you would NEVER see anyone from management roll up their sleeves ever and offer to help. Bottom line- they are very lazy,don't care about the patients, and cliquey to the – more... point of immaturity. At one time it was known as a great hospital , but as hard as those poor nurses work they are SO short staffed, the reputation of the hospital has suffered, and no fault of theirs. – less

Caring for residents. I went from the laundry to housekeeping to CNA with this company.Management was okay. Most co worker were okay but some were really lazy . They were only there for the paycheck instead of residents. the hardest part of the job was handling agitated residents. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with the patients.

Being in a small town the general staff was caring and often familiar with the residents there and the facility was well maintained for it's age but what was presented as company values and standards as well as benefits in the initial hiring process proved to be inaccurate. Constant turnover in the administrator position kept the staff in turmoil and – more... fear for job security ( I was there from March until December and worked under 5 different administrators in that time frame ) and demands for productivity became unattainable and unrealistic not to mention unsafe for the residents. The atmosphere went from one of friendly comraderie to one where staff members became near strangers in an effort to meet productivity requirements. Residents no longer were getting the care and attention that they deserved and needed because staff was too busy trying to meet a quota. – less

The administrator will never know your name nor speak to you unless she speaks to her fellow family members working under her. The job is stressful for the money.
Always short staffed. Other employess not welcoming.
The Most enjoyable part of job is the Residents.

Very hard job for the pay. Its all paper charting and never up to date and they want you to go back and even if you worked there or not and chart. The administrator very rude, only knew who she was due to her talking to her family members she has working under her. Management Needs to be cleaned up. Staff too short. Best part of the job were the residents. – more... Co workers, over staffed, work over all the time due to shortage of help. Management does not make you feel welcomed. – less

Difficult job! Five people squeezed into tight space (think/smell sardine can). Bratty daughter of the boss curses at patients, eats smelly food, plays loud obnoxious music, and wants to be something she is NOT! Warning: Do NOT apply to that job - it sucks! High turnovers and the HR does nothing about this immature, unprofessional environment lacking – more... compassion, respect for doctors, nurses, and Brockton's beautifully diverse community. Everyone quits! Hopefully, this time its the boss' daughter will too!!! – less

I enjoyed the diverse clientele we worked with. It provided a wide variety of services to our clients with many rewards to the clients.

Unethical company. President puts incompetent friends of his in place regardless of ability to do the work. Entire company management at corp level messed up. Its sick bc the CEO tries to fill you with his faith and ethics mombo jombo which is SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH. Its big business only to him unless you're a cronie in the good ole boys club.

First of all, this company makes the claim that they promote from within Not one bit!!!! At the facility I work for everyone there is related! Everyone! No one is happy there and everyone is miserable. Corporate needs to come in and clean out the family that is running that place.! Absolutely horrible!

I was very disappointed by the building in Fort Myers after a very good 4-star building in Tennessee. Management was terrible in Fort Myers and supervisors yell and verbally abuse employees in front of others....very unprofessional. The nurses and most staff are good hardworking people who love the patients but don't get any recognition for their hard – more... work. I didn't feel appreciated at all in that building for my work and my supervisor would make me feel guilty for taking time off (That I had earned). She even told me that next time I wanted to take my time off we would have to make sure a PRN could come in to see the patients (not my responsibility but hers by the way). She didn't trust my judgement even though she knew nothing of speech therapy and would speak to me terrible. If you are a therapist and a professional person, don't go there...you will not be treated well and abused. – less

typical hospital everyone works hard and gives a lot with little reccognition from upper mgmt

travel required for the job and thus spent months away from home. high stress environment plus being away from home so long was a negative. there was an effort to provide support from the corporate level but at times there was simply no one to send. The corporate culture was positive but at the facility level the staff often refused to accept the positives – more... offered. this is a good company to work for if you dont mind being away from home for extended periods of time, or have a local position with the company. – less

nursing staff care deeply for every patient. Patients always come first

I enjoyed working for signature healthcare of my bosses have been very trust worthy of me and they appreciate my work. I like working with my coworkers they help me and I help them.

come in check residents, complete your ADL's, feed residents and lay them down when neccessary.

worked as LPN and couldnt take it. worked 2 months and found better position. if you like 9 day stretches and too many patients this is the place. also, just as you get used to one wing they switch you to the other one. DON ask me how liked to be scheduled (was full time) another nurse I already knew warned me to tell her I didnt want 7-9 days at one – more... time. She dont care she did it anyway - they stay understaffed and have ads for positions most days. They will tell you they are understaffed (in the beginning) because not enough nurses in Pigeon Forge area. This is not the problem - problem is DON cares about no employees - just her position. She is unprofessional to say the least. I would have stayed to retirement if they had a good DON. – less
