Pros

Decent pay and benefits for the job title.

Cons

Poor management staff. I was treated awful from day 1 before I even started working and it has gotten worse every day. My manager had a chip on her shoulder because she was supposedly overworked and proceeded to tell me all about how her life was so bad because she had to work so many hours. She told me: "we work all the holidays so don't think about asking for time off". I have to be here and so do you. (sic) I have never worked anywhere as a staff therapist where I had to work a holiday. Duh! We are not front line care staff. This "manager" has no people skills and is the worst manager I have ever had in a work situation. Bad workplace dynamics verging on harrassment! She's never nice and always in a bad mood.

Pros

Pros? You get a paycheck.

Cons

Micromanaging from higher ups. Unrealistic expectations for productivity given the staffing, support, and patient skill level. Significant pressure on staff to clock out while working to save productivity. Treatment time to the bare minimum so patients who need more therapy don’t get more. Spreads staff as thin as possible then complains when they can’t meet expectations. And somehow convinced employees to lie on Glassdoor to write 5 star reviews to get their ratings up because I’ve never met a single employee for this company who even thinks this company is mildly good let alone worthy of five stars. Every five star review since January is suspicious to me.
