Pros

It is a great place for a new grad to get experience. Good benefits.

Cons

The pay is a measly $21/hr. I basically get treated like a tech. This company does not know how to utilize PTA's properly. I do not like how they pass off patients to techs every half hour. They are not skilled individuals, which is my problem but we are forced to do that.

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.

Pros

A few coworkers made the place tolerable.

Cons

4 CEOs in 5 years, yikes. Round after round of mass layoffs, millions of dollars in the red. Horrible company culture, pay and benefits. Current CEO rating speaks for itself. This company is a sinking ship.
