It is a daily challenge , as a PTA II since 2009 . I love what I do as a PTA. The challenge is the company.
Pros
The staff I work with are great people. We have very compassionate nurses and therapy staff. The staff in office is awesome. However...
Cons
Management better since new DOO. computer system is terrible , continuously adding to it, more data entry than pt care. No cost of living raise / or any other raise since 2011 , although management and above have received them. Data entry repeats itself multiple places , causing more time for this than quality treatment time. Patients complain clinicians more on computer than working with them includes all disciplines. New DOO is great, trying to change things , but upper management doesn't seem to listen to the DOO and her concerns for her staff. They tell us to embrace change , but don't want to hear from the people working the hardest so they can get raises , to make it easier, more efficient and make a difference for our patients. It's hard to give good effective treatments with the complex computer system that was supposed to be easier, and morale decreased do to management not listening to clinicians concerns.
