Pros
I have worked for HEALTHDRIVE for 8 years. It is truly the best job I have had. I personally love working with this population. The best thing is the feeling you get everyday, of giving back to those in need. Your day is full, treating patients and working with other health care professionals to maintain the quality of life for people who need your help. There is a degree of independence, that is very appealing, and allows you to be comfortable treating your patients, without pressure. Working for a larger corporation has many Pros as opposed to private practice, including benefits, and the people behind the scenes. The support staff is excellent, they are one of the reasons that our company is so successful at keeping providers.
Cons
Driving longer distances is not for everyone, although I don't mind at all. Also, some people are not as comfortable working with the elderly population, many of whom have dementia or other serious illnesses.,
