Pros

Working with babies was a treat; they presented with more trust than the Regional Managers and Corporate employees offered.

Cons

Corporate is more concerned with insulating (unqualified) "original" company employees with salary, promotions, praise and recognition. When the company decided to be sold from Cortech, the Pres & VP only interviewed prospective buyers who would agree to keep corporate AZ personnel. The interview process was arduous, lengthy and ridiculous. That stated, as picky as CT VIPs, RMs and managers are they micromanage the clinic personnel and offer very little trust. Corporate Staff and Regional Managers need to be appraised of most ALL consultations, recommendations or events. For instance, if a clinician does not recommend treatment, his/her case is reviewed by the Regional Manager AND Corporate (therapists - people who hold the same degrees, but differing opinions). Thus, in most instances, clinicians almost ALWAYS recommend treatment, even in mild cases to avoid dealing with Regional Managers and (micro)Management (leaving parents devastated and confused as to whether they should shell out a small fortune to treat their child if insurance doesn't cover treatment). At hiring the company promises M-F, 9-5ish hours, but when quotas are not met they offer Saturday appointments for consultations, which employees are strongly encouraged to work (and receive negative repercussions from Regional Managers if unavailable!). Parents of patients who receive weekend consults expect weekend availability for treatment (bait & lure), making it uncomfortable for staff to explain. CT offers benefits, but at an exorbitant cost to the employee! There are many more cons, but if the previous issues fail to dissuade you from applying, best wishes!

Great company to work for

Pros

Honestly, I feel like I have hit the jackpot. I have worked for many companies with either terrible work-life balance, horrible management, or incredibly inefficient environments. Cranial Tech is none of those! The staff is friendly and super helpful to each other and to the patients. I love this client population. Even when I have bad days with demanding parents, management helps me out and makes me feel like they are always on my side. Cranial Tech is a well-oiled machine. I knew it before I joined the company and every day here just makes me value it more. They are constantly perfecting their system, whether it's in manufacturing or in client interactions. No two babies are the same and no two staff members are the same and Cranial Tech definitely takes the time out for everyone. I can do research and presentations if I want to. I can work part-time or travel if I want to. My manager works with me for every time off request I have and trusts in my work. I have never felt this supported and this low level of stress at a job.

Cons

This isn't the right job for everyone. First of all, this is a very very niche clientele and the parents of patients can be very challenging. If you don't like working on only one condition and sometimes having to do 5 growth adjustments in a row or 3 evaluations in a row, then this job isn't for you. Some days can be hectic and packed with clients if one of the other clinicians calls off, but they have a great system of back-up and travel clinicians to help out. You definitely have to be a little more independent and self-proficient as a practitioner in order to fully enjoy this job because even though there is a thorough training process at the beginning, you only get out of it what you put into it. You have to take charge of your own time here to make the most out of it.

Pros

The front office staff is amazing to work with. They keep spirits up, as well as keep scheduled appointment flowing effortlessly.

Cons

I started through a temp agency and went through the application process. Which resulted in two-phone interviews. My superior was confident in my interviewing abilities as well as my work ethic. After weeks of not hearing back on my phone interviews or even general feedback when I worked there every day- I was let go mid-summer. And the reason I knew I was being let go was that a coworker who leaves early on Fridays left a card on my desk that stated: "We will miss you". And I eventually called my agency to ask why in the world would this company put me through the ringer the way they did. Show up early, open the clinic, stay late. It really doesn't matter to them. If you state you want to pursue school or start a family this company will drop you with a swiftness.
