Pros
If working with people is something you like to do, this is the job for you. Skills and knowledge you'll receive from Neuro Staff and Therapist is amazing. Watching your clients heal overtime, becoming more independent is fascinating.
Cons
Over worked, under paid. Coming into the job you are informed that Neuro is a team, and if we are in fact a "TEAM" LST should be included in more staff meetings, or team meetings, let them input information on the clients behalf. More training needs to be provided (each client is not the same, weight, height) LST staff should be prepared for transfers and assessments and protocols should be done before LST is assigned to Client. Organization is needed, Intensive, General and Visual Clients should be balanced out; For Example, being very understaffed with 80% of client intake being Intensive more staff need to called in ahead of time, this shouldn't happen but it does. Benefits and pay could be better but its not (NO RAISE IS GIVEN). If you don't have people skills, patients, devotion, or a general understanding of human services, you won't find satisfaction here.
