Therapists are hourly and they make you "flex" when you don't have a patient. So there are hours you are sitting around not getting paid because they didn't fill your schedule for you or a patient cancelled.
Benefits are not good. There is no continuing education. There are no paid holidays or sick time. There is only accrued time off and it accrues on 5 year schedules. It is around 2 weeks the first 5 years, then 3 weeks for years 6-10 then 4 for years 10 on.
There is no continuing education money. You may luck out and get a "free" spot when they host a course, but you have to work it. They pool the con ed funds with nursing, and nursing being a much bigger department gets most of the funds. One or two therapists will get one weekend course every year. In Washington you need 24 hours to renew your license.
They have an outside agency that manages work comp and medical leave. Their role seems to be to deny or try not to pay you. Even if you buy the extra disability insurance, they find ways not to pay any benefits. They pay short and long term disability once a month. The first payment is after you have already been off for at least 7 weeks depending on the pay periods, it could be 9 weeks. Then you get your check to find they have found a loophole and you aren't going to get any benefits.
They recently laid off a lot of clinical staff, then created new upper management positions.
The new CEO is focused only on money. She isn't a physician and has no medical background. Her main focus is cutting costs so that she and upper management can enjoy salary increases and bonuses.
