Mountain View Pain Center

As a Massage Practioner, you are not equal. Remember this is a Doctors office, and people come in paying with auto insurance 90% of the time, so there will not be gratuities; if you do receive them, it's from very few people, so $21 minus taxes is what you'll make per hour. You will not be paid for "No Shows," and there is at least 1 per day average, You will not be able to check your schedule before coming in, preventing from sitting at the job unpaid ( No remote system). No hydraulic tables and Cold rooms. You do all the laundry. You have SOAP notes to complete.   

You must work 40 hours to receive benefits, and this is a 10 hour day that starts at 8:45 am to 1 pm, with a 2-hour lunch, then 3-7 pm. (Long Day) with the chance of no pay, just to be eligible for expensive insurance benefits, (if) you as a manual practitioner can even perform eight massage services per day, five days a week! ( RPM injury) 

Working a full day isn't required though, as an LMP, you can work the am or pm shift and forfeit all benefits and holiday pay per the norm in the massage industry. 

I was let go due to the fact I was in pain, by a manager that only comes in once a month, whom never included me in meetings and would speak over me at every encounter we had; even after notifying our scheduler of my pain the day before and day of, this manager filled a cancellation I had at the end of my shift and expected me to perform deep tissue in pain. By not doing so and advocating for myself, I was wrongfully terminated immediately by her. I wasn't even presented with an opportunity to speak with HR. They claim that by canceling the one session can affect the case, but they now have to cancel two months' worth of appointments. 
 
My performance was alway to par, and I was booked up to two months out. So when I felt I couldn't do my job without possible injury to my body, the one thing I need to continue my career of 15 years, I was in complete shock that a company of practitioners would do this to anyone, and so close to the holidays without clarification or compassion.

This company is a good place-holder job or easy entry-level, get your boots on the ground kind of job. This is NOT a company I would ever invest long-term time into. The hiring process is almost too easy, and that's mostly due to the fact that they are desperate because the turnover rate is so high; in ALL departments. If you show any kind of initiative to prove yourself, you can count on upper management to notice...and quickly take advantage of that fact & load you down with more and more responsibilities for no extra compensation. Oh, and let's not forget the empty promises of "big bonuses" and a raise in wage that NEVER gets applied to your salary. But not to worry, "They'll look into it" just like they'll look into paying bilingual employees more for they're skills, or paying traveling employees for mileage. Let's also not forget that you are required to take a 2-hour lunch, essentially turning an 8-hour work day into 10. If not for the lovely patients, free adjustments/treatment, and mostly decent co-workers this company is not worth your time! 

There is no compensation for massage no call/no shows & lots of patients will nc/ns. In three months that I worked there I had only four days that were actually full. Also, MVPC expects you to get tips but patients don't tip (because they think they are at a doctor's office not a spa and I don't blame them!) Also, doing notes on their software can take hours and that time is not compensated either. Most of the people there were nice but management was absent & when they were there they were not very friendly at all. Also, the table was a very cheap portable table. On the upside nobody told me how to do my job. I also wasn't asked to do a practical in the interview process and to me, as a long time LMT, that's shady when they don't even know what your work is like.

Busy company, more concerned with expansion then employee retention. They pray on new PTA grads although this is a rocky way for new grads to start, burnout is inevitable. Work schedule is poor 2-hour lunch break, so you're working for 10 hours and getting paid for 8-hours. They will trick you into working 46 hours weekly salary only to be paid for 40 hours weekly and seeing 1 patient every 40 min. Lunch time is used to stay up on notes, due to seeing 2 patients in 40 minutes. Quality of patient care is impacted by volume of patients. Corporate company does not care about you, job security is very low. They will just replace you by someone with less experience they can pay below market. Only work here till you find another job.

This line of work can be so rewarding and I would suggest applying if you love to help people, can multi-task, and can handle a busy workplace. I would not recommend applying if you can’t handle being micro-managed and if you are going to be upset that people being paid more than you will ask you how to do their own job. Management will make everyone in your department feel bad when they know exactly who is messing up repeatedly, simply because they “don’t want anyone to feel bad or called out” LOL that’s literally a manager’s job. If you are okay being demeaned and made to feel small and unimportant, when really you hold the office together, then this would be the job for you. If you respect yourself, maybe not. 

The owners and management team are disrespectful to other employees. Communication is horrible as things constantly change and only the main clinics are informed. They are super stingy with their time clock, so much so that you cannot clock in or out one second early or late from your start time, lunch etc. Health insurance benefits are unrealistic and expensive. No PTO or sick time is offered. Owners are temperamental and fire people on the spot for no good reason. They work their employees to the ground and toss them out for a new one once they're done. 

This is typically a very fast-paced job, with little training. The management is unorganized and as a result, most of the pitfalls of this company fall upon the hourly employees to deal with. The company culture does not support personal or professional growth, despite many promises of advancement. 

This company is very OK to work for. You get some decent days off and you're usually able to get time off if needed. Medical benefits are offered but very expensive. The people you work with are pleasant for the most part. You have to work every Saturday, but you get a half day every Friday and Saturday, which sort of balances it out.

Mountain View Pain Center is a great company to work for. From it's friendly atmosphere from the time of hire to the willingness from management to help with any given task you may need extra training in. They really give you the best opportunity to grow within the company to obtain higher job titles/pay within company. I have spent 2 years here and have been really happy with the opportunity to grow within the company. Over all, Mountain View Pain Center has been one of the best companies I have worked for in my career. 

If you read a 5 star review, it’s probably because employees are asked to leave one to increase the rating. I would not recommend working here to anyone, management is toxic, the workplace is full of drama, and not one person is paid fairly (unless you are grandfathered in or related to management). This company will fire loyal and trustworthy employees without reason and use intimidation as a management technique. I strongly recommend NOT applying to work here unless you want to be miserable. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There are some great people who work for the company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When a scheduled patient doesn't arrive or there's a mistake with the call center, LMTs are not paid for the time worked. Even when doing tasks directly related to the job, there is no pay if someone doesn't show up.  Once or twice a week is manageable, but it can also be an entire morning/afternoon shift.
