WHATEVER YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE DO NOT WORK HERE. DO NOT WORK HERE. Not sure exactly where to start. I was driving an hour or so between people and facilities so roughly 3 hours a day in the car. All uncompensated for your gas, time, and no unit reimbursement (or your productivity). This equated to working 10-12 hrs day frequently to equate to the 130 units. Yes they will say this is reasonable because its about "6.5" patients a day, but that doesn't count for driving time, going between patients, talking to other members of the healthcare team, documentation (if I have to hear point of service one more time I will punch someone, will touch upon later), or cancelations (aka someone not feeling well, out of your control yet you are the one to suffer. Bc if someone cancels that makes you low on your units unless you find someone else to treat. OR work on a weekend (which yes I did many times despite working 13 hours monday/tuesday to try to prevent). Hard to predict if your last patient on a Friday is not up for PT today due to pain, illness, hospitalization, etc. Now if you are below your quota it is on you. You must use any additional units you've earned in your bank but if you are like most people you dont have much in your bank which then means you have to go negative. Believe it or not.. if you are negative at the end of the year you literally owe the company money. Let that sink in.. YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM HOWEVER MUCH YOU GET PAID PER UNIT. I got 12.5 per unit so say I have a few hospitalizations around Christmas and go below 10 units (so 2-3 PT sessions) I now owe FOX 125 dollars. WTF. Can you see how this could be stressful and cause you to overwork like crazy to prevent this. What a great business model to create stressful, overworked, productive employees. Also you are required to schedule all of your patients which they sell off as "autonomy" and "flexibility" but it really just means spending not paid time scheduling people on your weekends and using your personal phone to call patients POA for permission to treat them and reschedule them . Dont schedule lunch bc you won't have time to eat it. I lost over 12 pounds (is that a positive for a thin human looking sick all of the time now) from not eating or drinking during the day due to not having time to eat or pee. Now this is for new grads. They make you pay back 5,000 dollars if you do not stay a year and a half. They will work you and give you a mentor who could be very good but is unlikely actually there and if you're a PT/OT/speech therapist the importance of hands on is crucial. And you wont get it very frequently here. Or they are busy bc this job has the worst work/life balance ever. Patients are fine though at times can be difficult because you have no time to think of treatment ideas and activities for them. You also are not paid for mandatory meetings (time or money) that may be incredibly far away from you. I was not ever stressed from school or life, but wow they proved me wrong. Overall Fox is a horrible work environment. You will work late hours, you end up working on weekends, incredibly stressful, terrible work/life balance, you could owe them money back at the end of the year, if you're a new grad 5,000 if you figure out you'd rather do anything to get out before a year and a half (still best decision of my life). You can definitely get a much better job. Dont think you can't. THANKS
