Pros

Rewarding job, cool people patients and co workers, real world experience, most clinics you work with patients 70% of the time if you really know your stuff (especially south loop location). Pay in the city is higher than in the suburbs, great for PT school since you get paid and get hours at the same time

Cons

Sometimes you will stand/sit for long periods of time. You'll feel like you do more work than the PTs, can get crazy busy and every PT will be needing your help

Pros

Great hands on experience compared to other clinics. Heard that at other clinics, aides just clean and 'make the clinician's life easier' but at this location if youre willing to learn and take initiative, you can assist patients through their exercises under supervision of the licensed therapist

Cons

The only thing is the pay, but it's an entry level job so makes sense why.
