Pros

Good outpatient experience as a new grad, lots of continuing education opportunities, loved my coworkers and patients

Cons

They take advantage of new grads to pay them less than they're worth, pressured to see more and more patients each week, constantly double booked and expected to take patients outside of hours leading to high burnout rate, rarely get lunch breaks because aides and office coordinator will book in designated lunches or let patients come when they want, micromanaged by manager and regional manager, borderline unethical billing with commercial insurance and Medicare with pressured to bill for maximal units possible, patient care not prioritized over making more money- especially in this pandemic, manager cares more about pushing patient numbers than staff personal lives and maintaining good relationship with them

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.
