Pros

If you are a young clinician, you will be well compensated and receive mentorship. The benefits are tailored for young providers (22-35 y.o). The CEU money is good - but that's all OP PT. Local clinics and regions can be wonderful - you really need to get to know this area and enjoy your day to day co-workers. Above mid-grade management, there is constant change.

Cons

Athletico is lost - 4 CEO's in 6 years. While change can be positive, a constant change mentality leads to confusion and frusturates the field. They work with tongue-in-cheek. Patient outcomes are stated to be the most important thing. You get great outcomes only to hear - why don't your pts attend more frequently? If you are experienced - 10+ years the benefits are subpar as you will not use many of them d/t where you are in life. There is small opportunity to take advanced leadership, which typically does not occur d/t frequent C-suite changes. The field is not really heard - there are groups that meet the C-Suite, but it is more the C-Suite saying we are rolling this out - what do you think, rather than what do we need to do differently or listening to pinch points.

Pros

The benefits are decent, good coworkers

Cons

Frustrating leadership. Don't care about work/life balance. They claim to care about their employees but their actions say otherwise. Forcing employees back into office and constant layoffs make for a poor culture
