Pros

Co workers and patients are great.

Cons

-charging units is all that matters here, get people in to bill at all costs -CEO is trying to build a new “culture” aka laying off employees during COVID yet still having the funds to open new clinics nationwide. -they will double book you, have you routinely stay extra hours to squeeze in evaluations and then you will get constant emails about how the clinic is still not meeting budget. -no raises across the board this year with COVID, again they opened several new clinics. -CEO Ron Rodgers has no physical therapy background, he does not care about anything but the money. -If you value yourself as a PT at all, DO NOT WORK HERE

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.
