Pros

Great patients and staff to work with. Generous CEUs and decent benefits.

Cons

Upper management is absolutely awful and cares only about numbers rather than the employees. You will be micromanaged to meet metrics, your salary and hours will be cut if you do not see the required number of patients per week, secrets are kept behind closed doors with no transparency, performance bonuses are almost impossible to meet, you are asked to see multiple patients at a time with no training given, management makes promises with no follow through, and changes to your job position/role will be made without consulting you. I would not recommend this company to any PTs, PTAs, OTs, nor future graduates unless he/she/they want to be over worked and have terrible mental health outcomes.

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.
