Pros

Co-workers. Salary is decent. Benefits are OK but getting less each year. Good opportunity to earn free CEU's. They pay for AOTA membership.

Cons

Pressure to get minutes!! Many "FT" therapist assistants now hired at 30 hrs\wk but must be willing to work up to 40 when needed. No overtime allowed at many facilities. Bsically they want you to be available when they need you but go home.

Pros

Flexibility let’s start times, days that you work

Cons

Hiring team not upfront about true responsibilities and work atmosphere. Was told I could be working at 8 to 430, no holidays, no weekends. When I started, I was told if you take off a holiday you would have to make it up on the weekend. I was also told no residence will work with you at 8 AM so I would wait to come in till later in the morning. Depending on the residence at the independent living facility you may not start when you want to start, lots of refusals and working around their schedule, not your own. Ended up being there much later than anticipated every night of the week, productivity requirements were impossible.
