Pros

I worked with Professional Physical Therapy for over 6 years. It was a great experience and I certainly saw the company grow over the years. The team approach that the company has, created a positive environment for the patients and employees. There was always something to learn throughout the day, whether it was from one of the physical therapists, athletic trainers, or even patients. The company offered many opportunities to attend lectures presented by different specialists within the field. There was certainly room for all employees to grow within the company if they truly wanted to. My experience with Professional Physical Therapy was exceptional.

Cons

For my position as a Physical Therapist Aide, I was limited to a certain amount of hours I could work. I do believe the company might have been transitioning into allowing a PT Aide to work full-time after I left, but it would be best to check with the company first. I was going to school at the same time as I was working, and I I truly appreciated the fact that the company was always very flexible with my schedule.

Pros

I started working with Professional a little over a year ago in the Mahwah location, I was well trained by my SS and was quickly rewarded for my hard work with a promotion, I am currently a site supervisor in training in our Westwood office. Professional is an amazing place to work, I can honestly say I look forward to coming to the office everyday and I'm looking forward to grow with the company.

Cons

I can not think of anything negative to say about this company

Pros

It was my first job out of college... I learned a lot, the good, the BAD, the REALLY BAD, and then the REALLY UGLY (practices) of the business. A holiday party at the end of the year that's nice, and some events for employees to get to know each other in a social gathering, but now that the company has become a 7/11 I doubt they're doing these events as often.

Cons

30 - 35 patients PER SHIFT, 2 shifts each day. 7-2 and 1-8, no lunch break allowed, stuff your mouth with a sandwich and get back on the floor!!! WE DEFINITELY BILLED THINGS WE DID NOT PERFORM, STOP DENYING THIS!!! IT's not legal and you guys will eventually get caught and sued (Again). ATC starting Salary 35K (with or without a master's degree) it's embarrassing, PT's starting salary 55K, also embarrassing and well below what it should be for the number of patients and the $$$$$$$$$ amount this company sucks out of everything and everyone. How does a company grow from a few locations to 63 in less than a decade??? BY "SQUEEZING juice out of a rock" (these are the words of one of the partners I'm quoting) I would NEVER work there again, ever...

Thank you for your review. We are happy to let you know that we are in fact still maintaining the many wonderful social events held by Professional! We have our amazing year end holiday party, our billiards event, bowling event, and a summer outing for employees and their families – and those are just the events for the entire company! There are many regional events held as well, keeping us as a family, not just a business. That culture stems from senior management all the way down through each and every clinic. That ”family” culture also extends to our patient care and customer service. With regard to the number of patients seen in a day, that truly varies by clinic and we staff accordingly based on patient need. When a patient shows up too early or too late, we do consider the patients first and try out best to accommodate them into a schedule. Many patients are post-surgery, in pain and have difficulty getting around. We understand that and whenever possible fit them into our already busy schedules. At Professional, the patient does come first. We staff each location based on the potential workload so whenever possible, we can accommodate such instances. Additionally, a 7 hour shift is the norm. If you look at any corporate 9-5 job, that is an 8 hour day with one hour break for lunch. We are simply allowing our staff to have that lunch break either before or after their shift. That is not to say that people don’t have a snack in between patients. Majority of our staff prefers this versus staying an extra hour just so they can have an official lunch break. Furthermore, it is against our policies to incorrectly bill for work completed. We have policies, procedures and audits in place, as well as a compliance hotline available 24 hours and 7 days a week, providing anyone with the opportunity to report any concerns and violations. And lastly, pay grades may start at a lower level, but ask anyone who has been with the company for awhile, in a very short time employees that put in the effort and quality care are recognized, quickly promoted, and that factor becomes non-existent. We provide an abundance of opportunities for development, growth, and training within the company and provide excellent benefits. I welcome you to visit our website careers page and see what other employees who have lived this opportunity are saying (http://www.professionalpt.com/ -our-employees-are-saying/) and our recent Great Place to Work Employee Survey results (http://www.professionalpt.com/great-places-work-survey-results/).
