SportsMed Physical Therapy

I was a physical therapy aide for over a year at one location. Director of rehab was unprofessional and childish. It was a great experience working here as an aide while going to DPT school because I knew exactly what values/environment not to look for in a company. The PTs and office managers I worked with were great. Higher management is unorganized and terrible to say the least. If I was a patient I would most certainly want to be treated here (with 20 patients inside the clinic? If you want to call it that. I would think absolute madness is more appropriate) but unfortunately some patients don't know what a good outpatient PT clinic looks and feels like. I will never work for a company like this during my professional career. When one PT is juggling 6-7 patients at a time with me as the PT aide (good think I was educated for the sake of the patients) what kind of care can you possibly give? All management cares about is money. There were times when the PT I was working with had 4 scheduled patients in an hour (1 of which is an eval), and 2 walk-ins (let in 50 min and 20 min) before closing time on a Saturday. PTs during the week can treat up to 30+ patients on busy MWF days. Now as a DPT, I treat in a different setting but I treat 5-8 patients per day as opposed to 30. They will work you like an animal. Not worth it. At all. The two outpatient places I had my clinical affiliations/rotations at (one hospital based and one different chain) were 1000% better in every aspect. They saw 2 patients an hour MAX, blocked off hour for initial evaluations- how it should be. Money hungry people working at the top will eventually have to learn what they are doing is wrong when someone hurts their pockets.

Wanting to become a DPT myself, this place does prepare you for the career. Knowledgeable and personable doctors on staff that are willing to answer questions and give you a detailed look of the different aspects of physical therapy. HOWEVER, some offices overbooked, understaffed, and undersupplied. Overwhelming at times for all in office setting. Would reach out to corporate through proper channels, and assistance would not come until after it was needed. Almost a disconnect between corporate and offices. Got worse during pandemic. Worked for five different managers in time of employment (amount of work not equal to pay rate- common reason for departure for previous managers). No part-time hours and only being allowed to work full-time a major setback for most in company, mainly aides who are in school or have other obligations. Aides forced to wear multiple hats when anything goes wrong (driver calls out, other aides call out, etc.) Individual office culture varies due to differing personalities in office. Pay rate is ridiculous. There are McDonald’s and CVS employees are paid more than aides at times…aren’t we considered healthcare workers? Saving grace of this company is the patients genuinely see the effort and appreciate the work that therapists, aides, and front desk does. Overall, mixed feelings about company, but individual office life is stressful, but manageable. Team effort definitely.

Are you a good employee? Work hard? Ethical? Team player?? Well this is not a job for you to say the least. Its bait and switch. They will reel you in and once you are in any smart person will see the dysfunction dynamics that take place. Its micromanaged. Managemt has no clue how to be management and are very unprofessional. And if you have a great work ethic well prepare to be dumped with other peoples work while those "other people" reep the rewards for not performing and you will be undervalued and over worked. Duties are not fairly divided and your work load constantly changes. There is no comradierie in some depts and it's not even supported which is to why those departments are way they are because it starts from the top and when the camaraderie its frowned upon and intercepted, lose lose situation.  Management creates drama and unnecessary problems to say the least and if you address any issues you are talked down  to and the tables are flipped on.you as they are sneaky. This company has no concept of value to the good employees nor do they seem to care as shown in all the reviews. Constant turn over rate and its definitely not the employees as a whole. If you are smart, driven and honestly looking for a career this is not a place for you. Everyone wants a top notch employee but the question is is a company matching that greatness for those top notch employees. In this company you will be having to walk on eggshells and constantly having to watch your back from management as ts becomes unprofessional and management does not see a problem because to them everyone is replaceable so your suppose to take it. Dont waiste your time and energy with a company that doesnt value or support their employees. 

The best part of this job are your coworkers. Most employees want to do a great job and make sure their offices are successful. Most everyone tries to make the best of a rough situation and be a team player.   The downside to this is there are times the employees are stretched too thin and you are left understaffed, with little resources in order to meet certain goals. This leads to burn out and low morale. If you voice your concerns to upper management they will respond with something lackluster and generic, stating either their hands are tied or they will ignore your concerns completely and you are left to deal with messes at times. If you chose to work here you will need to learn to set boundaries. Communication between different departments heads are confusing due them contradicting one another. One department will advise to handle a situation one way and then another department will want you to handle the same situation differently. You are left not knowing which protocols to follow at times. 
The hours are great, they will really work with you in terms of your work schedule. PTO does not roll over but if you are organized and submit things in a timely manner there will never be an issue with PTO or any time off request for that matter. 
If you want to work here, read ALL the reviews carefully and try to get feedback from current employees. No company is perfect and there is always room for improvement. 

When I was hired, I felt a true sense of belonging and a family away from home feeling. The Regional Director that hired me was phenomenal, fair, and made me want to give 200% in my work. I loved providing care to the patients who would walk through the doors each day. Working side by side with a team at the time was there for one purpose, and that was to do great work and provide patients with a goal to feel better then they did when they walked in the office. I watched countless co workers slowly start to leave the company due to unfair treatment, stressful amount of work given to them due to lack of management that would be seen looking up air bnb vacation spots on their pc, making phone calls on company time instead of giving true help in completing work. Still I stayed vigilant and continue to do what ever task was bestowed upon me to perform. The biggest bombshell was seeing the person who took a chance on me and believed in me leave the company as well. I should have realized then that if the face of the company partied ways, perhaps no one is safe to work here. Unfortunately that turned out to be true. I was unfairly forced to resign due to not being a good fit. I completed every task giving, as I sat at my desk and ate my lunch everyday due to not having a break. Pulled 10 hrs shifts often due to no support.

This company is not worth your time. 

They are too focused on opening more office than they can staff accordingly. They will always try and get you to cover someone else shift. Upper management is terrible, and have no actual idea how to run a business. They have incompetent people in important positions and then wonder why their metrics aren't being met. They have people with no business degrees trying to run a business. 

You do not get a lunch break, no 15 min break, you eat when you get the chance (if you get the chance). As an Assistant Office Manager you do what should be 3 different individuals jobs. Upper management blames you if your office doesn't grow, or if you aren't getting referrals which doesn't have anything to do with you. 

The marketing department who works with the front desk is filled with misogynists. Who quite literally feel superior to everyone. If you call them for something, you can hear in the background they are at the gym or at home watching tv. 

If upper management feel like they can't control you, feel intimidated by you, or see you stand your ground. They will try and create a false paper trail of lies, to get rid of you. You can show concrete evidence to HR that someone is lying about you, and they will not do anything. 

I was with Sportsmed for over a year and it is the worst company I have worked for.  Very high paced setting that is understaffed. Management expects you to bill patients as they ask no matter the situation, patients are kept on program for much longer than is needed due to corporate wanting to reach their projections. There is no support from upper management when it comes to provider/patient disputes. Therapists, Aides, and Front Desk are overworked with no promise of progression within the company. Whole departments have been disbanded and the work has been put on the front desks and therapists to compensate for it with no increase in pay or any incentive. Do not over work yourself because they do not reward hard workers.  Also, there is no lunch breaks for therapists, you just have to figure out when to eat between the chaos of treating patients. The company does not care about your bedside manner, patient progression, therapist program design. Their only concern is that projections are reached. If you are looking for a decent starting salary and do not care about patient results or helping others then this company is for you, otherwise, do not accept a position here.

Wow. I have been working here for a few months now. I joined after they closed for Covid. Which I thought was very admirable of them. Being in the healthcare world, closing for the safety of all must have been a hard choice for the leadership team to make. Since I started, I have felt extremely welcomed and appreciated. My first day I was welcomed by a Welcome to the Team card, balloons and a training program that really helped me learn. Everyone I work with is genuinely nice and cares about their work and the patients. 

Is the office busy? I mean, yes. But that's a good thing. Patients like the care they receive, so they come back and refers friends. If the office was slow, I would be worried the company isn't making enough money to pay the bills. 

I am not sure why the reviews on here are so bad. I felt I needed to write a review to share my thoughts about this company because I don't believe what the reviews say is what this company offers. Maybe in the past it wasn't the best, but my experience so far has been amazing and I am really excited about my future here. 

I encourage you to talk and meet with them before having these reviews make your choice for you. 

Great coworkers, your office will try to lend a helping hand when needed. Even if you aren’t 100% sure on something, you can ask for help and someone will always take the time to assist you. Work-life balance is ok, there are times where I felt I was constantly working, even after my schedule and thinking 24/7 about my office’s numbers/ performance. Many times the stress can break you, make you feel defeated, and want to make you quit every single week. Major downside of the company is you never know what the next quarter will bring. Will they get rid of a whole department? Will they eliminate a position because they think it has no value anymore? Who knows! What is quite evident is that there are no advancements regardless if you’re an assistant office manager or office manager. You can put in 3+ years and at best you might get a decent raise (ONLY if your office is performing well). There are no upper management or corporate positions available ever. Or if they do create one, you will pray that you won’t get terminated after 2-3 months of this new position. But you just might, it’s always a guessing game, there is no clear scope, mission or strategy. It is sooo unclear and confusing. If you need a steady paycheck, I would apply but if your looking for more just get the experience and leave.

The work hours are really long at this company. The day is 8-7, M-F and Sat. 8-12. The first week at work, there is an orientation to get employees familiar with WebPT, and then you are sent to the base office and left to the co-workers to help you. However, all the offices are so busy no one has time to teach you anything new. I spent a year working for this company and learned nothing new. The management is only looking for productivity, while they ask for patients to receive quality care. It is hard to provide quality care to patients if you are asked to see 25-30 patients a day. Sometimes you have 4-6 patients in a 30-minute slot and at the end of the day, the office manager changes the schedule to make it look like we saw 2 patients every 30 minutes. There were days that we did not have enough help and we were asked to see the same amount of patients. On a busy week, we would see 350-400 patients in a week between 4 therapists. Sometimes we see the same amount of patients even if we were short-handed. I enjoyed working with all the co-workers but it is not the ideal place to work if you are looking to provide quality care to the patients and be able to have a family life outside of work.
