Pros

Flexible schedule for DOR, great team of therapists and colleagues.

Cons

GRS keeps taking things away from their long term EE's. DOR doesn't get PAID adequately...or even near what competitors pay. the Therapists make same or $1-2 less than manager... Responsibilities of DOR increase with no pay increase or appreciation of what they do (other than a simple "thanks"). Max merit is 2% for anyone. No WEB for managers working in own gym. since going public in Feb 2015, productivity and labor management are beaten to death. Old area director was amazing and a huge people person...GRS realigned and you guessed it, AD was moved and new AD came in. Now Use of Micromanagenent is an understatement. No autonomy. Little support from Area management team for DOR with troubled administrator/building. Annual reviews for management are NEVER done timely resulting in wating for increase and retro pay that gets messed up...then your asked to explain why #'s dont add up with the budget. :( Morale was fantastic for a couple years and coming to work was fun. I do still enjoy all my coworkers and staff...they are like family.... Problem really lies within Genesis corporate and their lack of humility and understanding the idea of taking care of your own people. Cuts, cuts and more cuts. Medical benefits went up and choices were decreased to (2). This is a healthcare company.... Where's the healthcare for your people who make GHC the $$$?

Pros

Honestly -- I love working for Powerback. I started my career in 2020 at Powerback, during the pandemic. Since, I have worked for 3 other rehab companies. Thus far, Powerback is my favorite company that I've worked for. They were in 2020, and they are as I've rejoined in 2025. I feel like I have clinical and personal support, good work life balance, paid fairly. Genuinely, the support that they offer is something that I can feel each day. Perks include having MedBridge, Bonusly to share congratulations to co-workers, discounts on car rentals, reasonable productivity expectations, good hierarchy within the company. I'm happy to be back with Powerback, as I feel the company gives me a steady floor underneath me to support my practice.

Cons

Nothing is ever perfect! It's a huge company in a difficult industry. But they care about their workers!
