Pros

Great therapists, and a large, clean facility capable of handling multiple patients at a time. Several locations in Northeast Ohio.

Cons

No support from management when requested. No communication from HR representative for this area, who is located out of state. Management tells new hires they are always available to help, then won't reply to calls or emails for days, if at all. They only care about getting the numbers up. Blatant favoritism among center managers and PSS's. So much focus on increasing daily visits and reschedule rates that actual concerns are swept under the rug. Also, upper management for this region is a husband/wife team, and one area manager has several family members employed with this region. One of these has been fired and rehired several times. Regulations and policies seem to change on a weekly basis without adequate explanation. New tasks and responsibilities are consistently added to job description, yet pay doesn't reflect changes. Turnover in this position is high, and training is very much lacking. I felt unprepared for many tasks that I hadn't been trained for. Because the turnover rate is so high, current employees are sometimes denied PTO because of lack of coverage for centers. Not much room for advancement in most positions. Advancements seem to come out of need for employees to cover turnover rates.

Pros

I enjoyed working with my coworkers in the individual clinics.

Cons

Management is inconsiderate and not supportive. Management functions day by day making the rules up as they go along. The company policy very clearly states that family may not work together. The Northeast Ohio territory has managed to completely ignore that policy and has siblings and spouses working together. The top priority is not patient care but the amount of money that each clinic makes. At first I thought it might be the business of physical therapy but it is not. It is the practices of this company that are bad.

Pros

I love my coworkers in the clinic that I work

Cons

No appreciation by upper management. You do not get paid for holidays and have to use your paid time off in order to get paid. The pay is absolutely ridiculous for the amount of work and responsibility you are given. Our company was bought out by Novacare/Select Medical last year and after working for my previous company for 15 years who did pay me for holidays and treated me like I was worth something its very sad to be made to feel as you are replaceable.
