Pros
- Most of the other therapists are wonderful to work with and you develop close relationships with them - The kids are awesome - The facility is great, although small - You learn a lot - Depending on your mentor, you can learn a ton from them - Free CEU day every year - Some management is great, but some management enjoys their power trips
Cons
- Benefits are awful - Drama, drama, drama with management - The pay is awful ($26 for a starting OTR/L)- and for a for-profit company, that's just insane - No time between sessions, so you have to use the beginning and end of each child's session for clean-up and setup - There's times you won't get a solid 40 hour week, and they don't salary anyone who's not management, so you're screwed when it comes to paychecks - They give only the federal minimum for maternity leave (12 weeks unpaid) even though 95% of the company is made up of women - They open new offices for company growth, but under-staff them or stretch their current staff out to breaking point - They overbook the office caseloads, and don't know how to schedule them correctly- kids who have been going for years won't be able to get appointments for weeks at a time if they don't call within the first hour they're able to make the appointment (30 days ahead)
