Athletico reviews

Busy work days, fast paced environment

Too much of a focus on marketing. As clinicians, you go to school to learn to treat patients, not to market yourself and the company to local docs. The expectation to see a certain volume of patients, while also hitting a certain amount of relationship building contacts is stressful and often calls for extra work outside of the 40 hour work week. Also, there is pressure to bill a certain amount of units for each patient. This feels unethical, especially when treating Medicare patients who should only be billed for direct 1:1 care. There is less of a focus on patient care. I once sat in a monthly staff meeting and the sole topic was marketing; not teamwork, not customer service, not getting our patients better. It's a shame.
