Pros

Continuing patient education. Not much else.

Cons

You're a workhouse. Poorly compensated. No time to document when giving good care. Lack of aides/support staff. Hard to take PTO. Poor documentation software. Managers have verbally told me what to bill, how long to keep patients.... definitely not ethical. Bonus system is flawed. Employees not valued. No end of year holiday party like they used to. It's all about numbers, not patient satisfaction. They don't care about Burnout because they will replace you with another innocent new grad. Forced to do extra Saturday shifts or work events without extra pay!

Pros

Great hands on experience compared to other clinics. Heard that at other clinics, aides just clean and 'make the clinician's life easier' but at this location if youre willing to learn and take initiative, you can assist patients through their exercises under supervision of the licensed therapist

Cons

The only thing is the pay, but it's an entry level job so makes sense why.

Pros

Having a good clinic with good colleagues and management will make this job feel great! The jobs aren't super hard, and the patients are very entertaining and sweet.

Cons

Bad management/colleagues or a horrendously busy schedule can break the entire experience.
