Absolute Companies

Absolute Rehabilitation is the worst company I have ever worked for. The upper management only cares about money. The productivity standard was increased from %83 - %90 during a deadly pandemic. Though  every building I worked at was under staffed, they STILL expect you to maintain the new productively  standard. Most days I had to work for free, off the clock, to get my productive even close to %90. I wasn’t the only employee who had to do that… Then when you decide to quit, they won’t care enough to ask why. They don’t care about you as an employee. Some staff have quit after 15 years of dedicated employment. Do you think they tried to keep that person or ask why they quit? NO! Their reasons… “we can hire a new grad to replace you.” They don’t care if you have YEARS of therapy experience, they just want a body in the building so they can work you like a dog and make money off of you. If you like working for free and are made to feel worthless, replaceable and unappreciated,  this is the company for YOU!!!

If you like to work off the clock, have no holidays then this is the company for you. The company expects people to voluntary go to work meetings on lunch breaks without pay. They also expect you to pick up the weekend before or after every holiday. If you happen to get off near a holiday you have to use PTO because you do not get paid holidays. Constant increase with productivity which in itself is a pay cut. The company will not stand by an employee if there is a conflict. Management is very one sided. They like to say they are all about family,  however if my family treated me the way this company treats employee I would rather not have one. Every employee complains about upper management.

No work/life balance - management expects workers to be there every other weekend at least while they don’t work any weekends. This means if you work Saturdays, you have to work 6 days in a row every other week because their pay periods start on Mondays. Benefits were subpar and only going down hill, and they slowly take away compensation every year. Pay was not worth the effort needed to finish the job. Lots of required overtime. Any move you make within the company is lateral as there are very few opportunities to actually advance in the company. Culture is very cliquey and uncomfortable.
If you want to work in pharmacy, I recommend starting here, getting your certification, then immediately moving to a retail or hospital position for much better pay in a better environment.

Unfriendly and unprofessional managemenr, toxi work environment full time lsw has a high case load of 90 plus pts, has to complete routine visits, on top of admissions (20-25 a month), idg notes, and case management, and be at bedside for pts when actively dying. Company has unrealistic expectations for this role. They don't plan to get another full time lsw to help with workload, high burn out, as there are multiple Staff doing several job tasks, no raises and low pay for work you do. Management does not give Staff any recognition for the work they do, unorganized and horrible communication. Overall worse hospice I have ever worked for. Run! 

I have worked two days for this company as an RN and I don’t think I can go back. It’s Nursing Home passing meds and doing treatments without any orientation. I have not done this exact kind of work for 25 years although I have done plenty of long-term care work it was not like this. Perhaps it was just a bad fit from the beginning. Perhaps it was just incorrect expectations but half of these people should be on hospice in my opinion and to go in blind and take a full assignment it’s just not fair to either me Or the nurses I worked with. It’s not RN work. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
For a while they were very patient centered.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Staying on my feet, except for short breaks, during my four hour shifts. Sitting on a resident's bed is strictly prohibited and sitting in the chair beside the bed made it difficult and uncomfortable for residents to see me.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The facility will be under new ownership at the end of the month, and everyone is on edge about the changes that will be made.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very rewarding. I enjoy the work environment, and my presence in each room is much appreciated.

I love to come into work everyday because I love what I do. I also love the people that I work with. The management is flexible with my school schedule and we are always conversing about job advancement opportunities. Co-workers are quite enjoyable. We all get along really well and compliment each others strengths and weaknesses. The hardest part of my job is at the beginning and the end of the month when all of the nursing homes fill their prescriptions at the same time. The most enjoyable part is knowing that somehow I am helping someone out in the nursing home just by packing their medications correctly.

No raises in 3 years, and productivity has increased 5% for evaluating therapists in that time. Benefits are average to severely below average, depending on what company you're comparing them with. I don't understand how they justify their business strategy. They're depending on staff to stay motivated/engaged based on the goodness of their hearts without giving them options for advancement or recognition in a form that matters to them. People are leaving and plan to leave due to below-average pay and no raises.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working PRN with Absolute offers freedom and flexibility.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing is stressful.  You work when you want and when you don't want to, you don't have too.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Managers are always there to assist you and coworkers are great too.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work PRN so usually:
1.  Go to the site
2. Go to the office to meet the manager and get my schedule
3.  Go back to my desk and look up patients
4.  Decide what my course of treatment is
5.  Do the treatment
6.  Write the notes

It can be crazy but you can pick your own shifts and if you don’t like a facility you don’t have to go back. It’s nice to get a chance to check out the different facilities. After talking to many employees at the actual facilities I’m happy that I work for agency and not the facility itself. You really hear/see how bad management is and some staff are at the different places you go.
