Pros

The Therapist are some of the finest I have ever worked with. With that in mind, the burn out rate is extremely high with contract Therapist not renewing contracts and turning down offers for full time positions.

Cons

Some members of management don’t like having to work with Therapist who are older than they are. When you add more experienced than they are, you get open hostility where you are told that you are to old to keep up with the work load and should find a position somewhere else). The work assignment’s are made with unreasonable expectations (you’re assigned patients on different floors in different wings of the hospital. You are also expected to do O2 rounds on the other patients on each of your floors, this means you are expected to see roughly 50 patients on each floor on top of the 16 to 18 treatments you are assigned and expected to do in a two hour time frame).
