Pros

Always hiring, opportunity for experience, provide CEU opportunities regularly.

Cons

Salary is an embarrassment. If a school had a snow day or a game is cancelled and you are unable to make 40 hours, you are forced to use your PTO for things outside of your control. Raises are based on how many referrals you get, but pride themselves in not requiring a quota. Continuously felt under appreciated by managers. At annual meetings, the corporate speakers would call us “trainers” which to me showed that they didn’t care about our profession, but did care about how much money we were bringing them. Also, relentlessly ask for all ATs to pick up extra coverages and it can be overbearing. Inconsistencies in policies, some involving pay.

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.
