      They are okay

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Typical SNF rehab company, Not difficult to get hired.

      Cons

      High productivity requirements. 90% for assistants. Employees are not vetted well. Extremely bad employees work there. The lazy are rewarded, and the hardworking ones are inadvertently punished. Great workers leave.

      Not a Good Place to Work

      Occupational therapist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall, the patients are great to work with. There were some good coworkers who were committed to appropriate care.

      Cons

      I was disappointed with Powerback. I left soon after I was hired for the following reasons: I was hired full time but they could not find enough patients for me so I missed entire days of pay when they sent me home. I overheard multiple meetings with directors of rehab in which they discussed how they had no idea how they would be able to meet the hourly rate I was promised upon hire due to not having enough patients for me to see. I overheard my own director of rehab speak badly about me to other coworkers in a meeting on my first day saying that I was not yet confident in my job (which who would as it was the first day I came to work for them and I was still learning). I was asked to treat patients on my first day when I was not fully acclimated to their documentation system or work environments. I was also asked to travel all over the Madison area (as far as Fitchburg) to treat patients at different facilities when I was told I would primarily work in one location with a rare possibility of travel. Overall, I was not impressed with the culture, morals, or ethics at this facility. I would not recommend Powerback Rehab at this location to other OTs in search of a full time job.
