Pros

Great patient population Good continuing education budget Good CEUs within company Good medical benefits

Cons

Significant focus on business metrics Work Saturdays at straight time without compensation for documentation time Double shifts at straight time to cover PTO for another clinician without being paid for extra documentation Difficulty taking PTO due to having to find your own coverage High patient volume expected at all times Expectation of time spent marketing outside of salaried time Expected to come early/stay late Bonus curved against your other co-workers and not transparent There is no time and a half, double time. Ever. Below average time off benefits

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.
