Pros

Yesenia Galvin was the only reason I stayed as long as I did even though she was not my supervisor. She’s a great example of what leadership should be like at Athletico.

Cons

Racism, unhealthy work environments, the training process needs to be restructured, lack of support from your direct supervisors, the clinical managers do not respect office coordinators and most rehab aides, unethical power dynamics in the office, underpaid for the amount of responsibility and work you are given.

Creates MAJOR burnout in PTs

Pros

You get CEU money, there’s options to take Athletico University courses for no extra cost to count towards continuing ed

Cons

I was talked to MULTIPLE times to bill patients for more units (5 or more), diversify my units to get more reimbursement, and was forced to double book on the half hour daily. If there was a slow week it was 100% blamed on me, not the fact that patients were sick, on vacation, etc. During your first year working there they want you to see 50 patients a week, and then after your first year 55 patients a week. You’re expected to relationship build (two a month) on top of this, and if it’s outside of your normal hours you do not get reimbursed. If you do not meet your metrics and relationship building you don’t get a bonus at the end of the year. Depending on the size of your clinic you may have to work Saturdays twice a month, which is what I did. And you only get paid your hourly rate, so not even $175 for 5 hours of your time and that’s not even taking into account tax. This place was DRAINING. Management literally doesn’t care about you as a person. They want to work you to death. Funny thing is is now that I’m moving to a hospital OP ortho clinic, they said that they probably won’t be able to offer me Athletico type salary but it’s actually a $1.18/hour more than what Athletico gave me for MUCH better working conditions. While it isn’t a significant change in money, I would do just about anything to get away from that company. Don’t believe that a nonprofit will give you less! Oh and lastly, I was told I was going to have an exit interview done by my regional manager. They never came at all during my last week. They just don’t want to hear the truth.

Pros

nothing comes to mind to be honest. you get to be a PT though which is cool

Cons

ugh, didnt enjoy it. pay is low, despite being expected to churn out 10-12 units per hour. They operate like a for profit but pay like a nonprofit.
