Business Outlook

Pros

the patients and the time spent working with them

Cons

I was not trained to succeed at my position and management was unreceptive to my needs and asks for more support. The company does not pay non-PTs enough and depends heavily on those people in an exploitative way. It's not an inclusive environment on so many levels and my identities made me feel ostracized by my coworkers, which played a huge role in my inability to succeed. Its sad that this company prides themselves on being inclusive when they really aren't.

Good for experience, not long term

Business Outlook

Pros

- The amount of experience you get with a diverse range of orthopedic conditions - Bonus pay for seeing 11+ patients a day (but the energy you have to put in in order to bonus sucks) - Some people at certain locations are awesome. It's either really cocky people that work here because they thrive off competitiveness , or they're super cool because they know these work conditions suck and being goofy is the only way to make it better.

Cons

- EXTREMELY exhausting. Averaging 12-17 patients in an 8 hour days sucks. My body hurts, i'm physically and mentally drained. - As a PTA I run patients through a few exercises and perform 15 minutes of manual therapy and leave techs to do the rest because it's all I can do in the time I have. I have 2 other patients waiting to be worked on. - They get techs to do everything and they underpay them. So tech turnover is extremely high. - Did I mention you are sooo overworked? I am not even a year into this profession and I'm getting burnout working here. Don't do it.
