Pros

Team members were supportive and collaborative. Friendly office culture. Clinics were communicative, collaborative, and reasonable with their needs. Exposure to large-scale, high volume operations.

Cons

Role did not match what was described in the hiring process. Workload appeared to reflect multiple roles and was not realistic for one person. Purchasing requests managed almost entirely through email with no intake or tracking system. No practical way to prioritize or maintain visibility into volume of work. Little to no documentation or on-boarding support. Limited access to leadership for guidance and decision-making. Function heavily skewed toward reactive purchasing, limiting ability to perform strategic procurement work. Resistance implementing process improvements or introducing structure. Inconsistent and at times unprofessional leadership communication created additional friction.

Pros

Great hands on experience compared to other clinics. Heard that at other clinics, aides just clean and 'make the clinician's life easier' but at this location if youre willing to learn and take initiative, you can assist patients through their exercises under supervision of the licensed therapist

Cons

The only thing is the pay, but it's an entry level job so makes sense why.
