Pros

I have a job that is not too far from home and I have the opportunity to help people regain their mobility.

Cons

Management is completely disconnected from reality in general as well as the general workflow and every day challenges that we are forced to work around. They will repeat the same process of identifying barriers to productivity, doing nothing about them and then expecting higher levels of productivity while you are working with less support and greater medical complexity. Do not expect the benefits that are advertised to job applicants to apply for more than only a few months as they seem to take away bit by bit from their initial offerings regularly. Productivity demands are mandatory with no acceptable excuses for under-performing even for 1 day. Be prepared to be treated as a subordinate peon while being stripped of the confidence you had in your formal education and the professional skills you've worked so hard to develop. The use of technology is a half-effort as you are expected to document in real-time as you provide treatment on ipods which more often than not have issues with connectivity and other bugs, not to mention the dial-up connection and poor interface. Their continuing education is the worst I have ever come across and therefore I stick to courses offered by my professional organization (The APTA).

Pros

Flexible schedule, nice coworkers, nice office space

Cons

Horrendously overworked. They kept promising help that never arrived. I felt terrible having to let certain tasks fall by the wayside because I was always drowning. I was afraid to take a day off and worked through illnesses, making it harder to recover. Administrator didnt care.
