Pros

Staff (at the location I was at) was very nice, very knowledgeable. Working with and seeing patients progress is a very rewarding feeling.

Cons

No big surprise here, Its a big company. Like any big company, this one is just like the rest of them. Employees not earning what they deserve and being forced to work less hours to maintain Part-time status. No such thing as patient management. If a patient is two hours early then Pro PT will take said patient two hours early, even if the therapist on duty already is juggling 6 patients in the gym. Its more about seeing as many patients as possible and less about making sure the patients are getting quality care. This is an epidemic in the medical field in general and not just a special disease Pro PT has. Don't let big medical conglomerates fool you when they say its about quality of care... In big business its about QUANTITY and the BOTTOM LINE.

Thank you for your review. We agree that working with, and seeing patients progress through their treatment is indeed very rewarding. We are proud of our knowledgeable (and friendly) staff and the added educational value we provide to our staff. With regard to some of your other comments, it’s like the old adage about some seeing the glass half empty vs. others seeing it half full. 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. Pay grades may start at a lower level; however Professional also offers a great work environment, superb clinical training, excellent benefits, and rapid career growth opportunities. If you ask anyone who has been with the company for awhile, in a very short time those that put in the effort and quality care are recognized as well as rewarded, and the pay factor becomes non-existent. 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/what-our-employees-are-saying/ ).

Pros

- Very friendly people work environment - Easy commute

Cons

- The company policy seems to be 'get as many patients in here as possible and get as many visits as possible'. PTs often have 30 patients on their schedule in 8 hours. -PT Aides are overworked and underpaid. For $10 an hour, aides often need to help 4-6 patients at the same time. Aides also aren't allowed to work more than 29 hours per week which keeps them as part-time and without benefits.
