Pros

it's a job - take it if you have no choice

Cons

After they took over Consulate they reduced therapists hours and added assistants even if the current ratio was enough to maintain a good productivity. Too many middle managers come to evaluate therapists documentations without regard for the fact that we are all professionals and actually pass the boards and have licenses. Cold, calculating no human touch at all. Will take your job just because their program Navigator dictates ways to maximize profit. Hypocrites because they pretend that they are all about patient care and quality of treatment. When you are replacing registered therapists with bachelors/masters/doctorates for assistants with less than 2 years of training and who can't observe even basic ortho precautions ( I know - I was a clinical supervisory for PTAs for years), you are putting your patients at risks for profit. That' what Genesis is really all about - MONEY!

Pros

Overall, the patients are great to work with. There were some good coworkers who were committed to appropriate care.

Cons

I was disappointed with Powerback. I left soon after I was hired for the following reasons: I was hired full time but they could not find enough patients for me so I missed entire days of pay when they sent me home. I overheard multiple meetings with directors of rehab in which they discussed how they had no idea how they would be able to meet the hourly rate I was promised upon hire due to not having enough patients for me to see. I overheard my own director of rehab speak badly about me to other coworkers in a meeting on my first day saying that I was not yet confident in my job (which who would as it was the first day I came to work for them and I was still learning). I was asked to treat patients on my first day when I was not fully acclimated to their documentation system or work environments. I was also asked to travel all over the Madison area (as far as Fitchburg) to treat patients at different facilities when I was told I would primarily work in one location with a rare possibility of travel. Overall, I was not impressed with the culture, morals, or ethics at this facility. I would not recommend Powerback Rehab at this location to other OTs in search of a full time job.
