Pros

Great team oriented company run completely by physical therapists in high leadership position like CEO, CFO ect. Coming straight out of college with a bachelors degree in exercise science the position helped my grow in my field. There were wellness incentives and a month long fitness challenge that I hadn't seen at most other jobs.

Cons

They expect a lot out of employees, this is not a "relaxed" job! The clinic director at your location can truly affect your experience. I got along with my director but a poor relationship with them could make the job miserable. Also I think it should be noted they can be quick to fire lower level employees for what seemed from an outside perspective seemed to be for no reason. Im not sure why that is...

Pros

Fast-paced environment makes your days go by fast. I learned a lot early on as someone with minimal background in healthcare.

Cons

I'm frankly baffled by the number of people claiming Highbar is not a mill. There are many locations so maybe it varies, but where I was working as an aide I was almost always trying to keep track of 2-4 patients simultaneously, which did not equate to quality patient care. Sure seemed like a mill to me. The compensation was remarkably poor given how much aides did to hold the place together. I did not have the feeling that the organization or the people particularly cared about me as an individual.
