Decent benefits and compensation

Business Outlook

Pros

Healthcare and benefits are great. You get PTO right away. They even offer a HSA. Work-life balance is great. At my clinic, we have no saturdays aka free weekend. As a regular PTA (no management nor float position), I am hourly. So my salary depends on how busy my schedule is. Fortunately, I have a busy caseload.

Cons

Hourly, cut hours sometimes. Management can be better and supportive

Business Outlook

Pros

Great patients and staff to work with. Generous CEUs and decent benefits.

Cons

Upper management is absolutely awful and cares only about numbers rather than the employees. You will be micromanaged to meet metrics, your salary and hours will be cut if you do not see the required number of patients per week, secrets are kept behind closed doors with no transparency, performance bonuses are almost impossible to meet, you are asked to see multiple patients at a time with no training given, management makes promises with no follow through, and changes to your job position/role will be made without consulting you. I would not recommend this company to any PTs, PTAs, OTs, nor future graduates unless he/she/they want to be over worked and have terrible mental health outcomes.
