Q&A With Encompass Employees

Not particular about dress. May wear scrubs or dress casual

Professional clothing

Will be around for a while but turnover is high

No set schedule. Raises don’t occur often.

Don’t think paternity leave is very long if at all available

Very common based on their needs

People who uphold to the standards of professionalism.

There are suggestion drop boxes and you can email people directly. The CEO is very responsive.

I feel proud to work for a hospital that is run efficiently and respects their patients.

Some of the team members go to a trivia night. I am not aware of others. During the holidays, the therapy team has a get-together. The hospital often puts on events in-house.

Be prepared to work 2-3 weekend days a month.

Offices are often in windowless rooms, where patient rooms and patient therapy rooms have a lot of light.

Very little at the location I worked at. The town reflects the demographic.

It fluctuates depending on the caseload. It is difficult not to feel tired when you are over-worked, and nervous when the caseload is too low that you will need to use PTO time.

I was shadowing or interviewing for a few hours. This was very helpful in giving me a sense of the duties and my potential co-workers.

Be professional and be yourself. It's important that you work well with the team and they want to figure that out during the interview.

I met with the speech therapists, who I would be working with, and the head of therapy. I heard back within a week.

It felt as though it was an invitation to learn about the facility and a chance for them to learn more about me as a person. They did not ask questions to assess my clinical skills, as other places have.

I have only interviewed for one position. They asked typical questions, such as, what are two of your strengths and two of your weaknesses.

Fairly flexible. I could come in later and leave later. This was very helpful with my work/life balance so I could see my husband in the evenings after his long commute.
