Is this your company?

Absolutely not. Very, very exploitative company. - Physiotherapist Health First Group Employee Review

Pros

You may have access to some equipment that you might not get at other clinics.

Cons

What you are promised and what you get are very different. You will be promised great pay and regular training. You get 7 hours/week unpaid overtime and online videos. (Keep in mind that across 20 clinics, 7 hours a week x 52 weeks in a year = 7000+ hours at 1.5x rate. This company is engaging in $400,000/year of wage theft.) There is a HUGE barrier between upper management and everyone else. Information is masked behind “considering”, “reviewing" and “evaluating”. You will never know what is happening until after it has happened. Especially when it comes to finances and staffing. Good luck getting a pay rise. Later hires with less experience will be brought on at $10k more than their supervisors! Senior management are strongly 'money first' in their views. They will directly as you to help them misrepresent their business, and exploit trade partners in order to lower outlays and claim more benefits/offsets. (Of which they get the benefit, not you.) They are so bad, even recruiting agencies will not work with them! Be very, very careful with contracts, and confirm specifically the pre-requisites for any bonus structure. An undercurrent of gender bias pervades head office. If you are a woman (especially in admin), you will be looked down on and exploited. 20min appointments. It's expected you can assess, treat, and write notes in that time. You are aggressively discouraged from running over. You cannot provide adequate care; especially for those who are at-risk or vulnerable. If you try to do more, you will be reprimanded.
