Pros
Amazing support and mentorship to build as a clinic leader. Great opportunities for advancement and to become a Shareholder of the company. Leadership has a close, family type of connection and employee’s wellness and quality of life are always a big consideration in decision making. All clinic leaders are full time PTs which is good for the moral of the clinic (no “silent” partner making money and not pulling their weight).
Cons
Pathway to Shareholder can be a long and difficult path which depends on your clinic location, clientele, and your ability to network and show value in ways other than financial success. At times as a clinic leader, you have to wear 15 different hats while still being a full time clinician. Work life balance is hard for some in this position.
