Pros

continuing ed options, supportive co-workers, therapists are usually highly skilled and trustworthy, nice facilities and available equipment/modalities, opportunities to develop speciality skills, can grow in marketing/relationship building skills as you are expected to do so many encounters with mostly doctors/referral sources (could be a pro or con depending on the person)

Cons

Work > personal life approach (if you’re overloaded or burnt out, solution is to primarily discuss how you can adjust your time outside of work or be more efficient while at work/minimal flexibility on upper management end), new CEO in the last year or so shifted to what felt like decreased patient-care/experience focus, salary: min 9.5-10 hour days/5 days a week/minimum of 2 late nights, consistent extra “asks” outside of case load, disconnect between upper management and clinic level

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.
