RUSH Physical Therapy

I have been working for the company over five years.  This was my first job out of PT school and I have been very happy with the organization.  

This is a fast paced work environment, you have to be quick on your feet and ready to be in high gear at work. However, the patients we work with are fantastic and I honestly have fun treating every day.  

I feel this company stands apart from other large physical therapy organizations as they really emphasize patient care and quality of care.  Yes, we are very busy, however, I don't feel intense pressure to pack my schedule and lower the quality of my care from management.  

There are also multiple ways to grow at RUSH.  There is always a growing need for leadership and therapists who take initiative are asked to go through management training to manage their clinics. There are also several in house continuing education opportunities: dry needling, manual therapy, and specific orthopedic classes which are incredibly helpful.  I have always been encouraged to pursue my interests and have taken numerous external courses as well ranging form working with runners to helping post partum cross fit athletes. 

The most difficult aspects of this job are learning quick on your feet and keeping a work life balance with emails and documentation.  Being self sufficient and an independent learner are qualities that will help you succeed.

My favorite part of this job is my patients and staff I work with.  I have a great team at my clinic and feel very satisfied with the work we do to help our patients.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend working for RUSH.  I have grown professionally and personally with this company and look forward to continuing to gain experience and knowledge. 

Management was great and so were the physical therapist. I truly enjoyed all aspects of the job and the patients. Training was not thorough though. It was great when I got it but then I was just thrown to work alone not having been fully trained due to short staffing and my training never resumed. I soon found out from other workers in my same position that this was common and that I was very lucky that I got the amount of training that I did get as some before me had to train themselves. 
I was hired to work part-time. As soon as I was thrown into working on my own without proper training I was also working open to close because they had no one else to work those hours so I couldn’t say no I felt, only to find out that they rarely hire to replace for staff shortages. If you are looking for a job that will give you overtime if you want it (even at other locations to fill in) this is a good job for you. 

Being a for profit company, Rush Kids is very focused on the numbers and productivity. It can be very very overwhelming working long days with inconsistent scheduling. There is not a repercussion for cancelling although if the client cancels enough we are urged to discuss better days/times to fit their schedule rather than removing the client from the schedule outright. This causes stress planning and preparing for sessions as you never know if clients will arrive.  However, there are really fun and rewarding sessions often enough to balance the cancellations which makes it difficult again to find consistency in the work. I do find interesting cases and variety in the caseload which makes continued learning and staying up to date with skills. All in all I would recommend this job to others but with the caution there are long days with inconsistencies throughout. 

I previously worked for a large outpatient group and could not be happier with the switch to Rush PT.  Workplace culture is relaxed yet productive, there is plenty of room for growth, our caseload isn't crazy, and our team is like a family.  Each of our clinics are different in terms of hours and specialties, which are all geared to serving the communities we are in.  Our continuing education department is honestly unmatched.  We have plenty of internal classes both locally and nationally; this is one of the reasons why I chose this company, they truly put their employees first and try to better them so they are able to give quality care to their patients.

The BCBA's are their own clique and are nice to you to your face but whisper nonstop at their desk. You are often scheduled with the same kiddo for long periods of times every single day and when kiddo begin to resent it the
BCBA's refuse to acknowledge that it is because of the amount of time spent together. There are also no breaks whatsoever besides a 30 minute lunch or 45 minutes if you're lucky and the kiddo has a special. If a kiddo cancels or is running late, instead of having time to work on session notes or work on materials, the BCBA students will change the schedule so that they have the free time and you take their kid. 

One of my favorite things at this company is how much I am valued. I have been given several opportunities for growth and feel confident in my ability to flourish within the company secondary to my management providing me with the tools to do so. The workplace culture is amazing--there is fun banter within the clinic and it is obvious that those working here care about each other and the patients. The quality of care is amazing, and there is a lot of opportunity for mentorship and growth as a clinician.

Working and even traveling to different clinics has given me valuable knowledge. As a PRN, I’ve gained so much information working with great teams especially my manager—who is very understanding and flexible when I was going to school. I would recommend this as a job when going to college or when you would like to explore opportunities within the rehabilitation side of healthcare!

RUSH Physical Therapy provides clinicians the ability to grow both as a clinician but also with different clinical interests or with management. And it's possible to do both.  

A slow descent into mill status coupled with the difficult to please management which is forcing us to do more with poor pay considering other OP Chicago clinics, this place is just okay to poor. "Better access" has become the new phrase for see more patients and double book.

Amazing work culture. People are incredibly eager to help you reach your fullest potential. If you are in college and looking for healthcare experience the rehab aide job is perfect for you. I’ve worked at multiple locations and it’s been a very positive experience.
