Pros

The only positive part of working here is the stretchers — the staff who truly care about helping clients heal and feel better. They’re hardworking, compassionate, and the only reason this place hasn’t completely fallen apart.

Cons

- In just three years, there were four different owners, each one making things worse and more chaotic. - General managers never last—most quit within a few months because of the toxic culture and poor leadership. - The current owner, Kelsey Richards, is unprofessional, manipulative, and completely unfit to run a business. She plays favorites, blocks people from the schedule, and alters employee timesheets in ways that reduce their pay significantly. - Kelsey is a terrible owner—she avoids accountability, blames others for her mistakes, and has no leadership or people skills whatsoever. - She creates tension between employees, gossips about staff, and makes it impossible to trust management. - Communication is terrible, morale is nonexistent, and there’s zero respect for the people who keep the business running. - There’s no stability, integrity, or structure—just a constant cycle of turnover and disappointment.

Pros

Co workers are cool but management dislikes when ur friends with your co workers

Cons

If you’re looking for a workplace that respects your time, communicates clearly, and values its employees—this is not it. Leadership is a major issue here. There’s a noticeable lack of professionalism, including instances of being spoken over, having words put in your mouth, and being talked down to instead of listened to. Concerns aren’t addressed—they’re dismissed, often with “attitude adjustment” conversations rather than actual solutions. Work-life balance is essentially nonexistent. You’re expected to prioritize the job above everything else, despite compensation that doesn’t reflect those expectations. Scheduling is disorganized and inconsistent, and even when feedback is offered to improve it, it’s ignored. There’s also a clear disconnect between management and staff. Managers work standard weekday hours with no night or weekend presence, yet still criticize those shifts for underperforming—without offering support or firsthand understanding of those challenges. My final experience summed it up: a conversation with ownership that escalated into raised voices and misrepresentation of my reasons for leaving. I chose to walk out rather than continue being disrespected. There are better places to work that will treat you like a professional, not a problem.
