Great Company concept ran by terrible people

Pros

Most of the employees you will work with are genuinely great people, as well as the patients, and clients.

Cons

Management is the biggest disappointment. When I first started working at MPower I loved it. That quickly faded when I realized that I was just another number to the management team. All they truly care about are increasing numbers each month. Which I get is what determines a "successful" company, but this is at the cost of the employees and members who pay GOOD money to be there. Their claim is that "everyone is a VIP" but if your not truly a high status client, your just a number. The biggest draw that made me want to work there was the fact that they wanted career minded people, not someone who "just wants a job", but the truth is when your an employee at MPower you will never receive a raise, bonuses are laughable, you will be cut off at 40 hours a week but asked to work more than that for free. Mid-management positions are filled with people who come in with the best intentions but are forced to do some very unethical things to appease upper management at the cost of lower employees and clients. From the time I worked there to the time I left, Mpower had gone through several mid-management positions between the three locations. The only thing we would ever get told was that "They weren't a good fit". The final straw that pushed me out was the fact that I dreaded coming to work every day, and I never want to work in an environment like MPower ever again. I became a very cold and bitter person my last few months there and that not who I am, but working for this company slowly brings that out of you because I've seen it happen to many of the other employees who I worked with.

Pros

Co-workers are great and stick together for support... You could make some life long friends for sure.

Cons

The "Beware" review is 100% right, spot on! I have the same things to say about MPOWER. It is incredible how a company can be so abusive and manipulative but blame all their short-comings on the staff. It's them, not the staff. They talk about fixing the culture, well it will never be fixed because the culture starts at the top... That's why there is so much turn over; they fire people or demote them, make them inferior to the point that the person quits on their own. Myself and my friends suffered and have PTSD from how they were treated. For management, loyalty is not a thing there, but you are expected to be loyal to them and be their pawn and asked to be unethical and turn on your co-workers/friends. The other review mentions they make up things to put in your file. This is 100% true; I personally was pressured to sign written statements management wrote that either twisted my words or were straight up not true. I know many of my other co-workers had to do the same because we all talked about it afterwards. The non-compete is their golden ticket they keep in their back pocket to screw you over and threaten you. When people leave they aren't leaving with grand ideas to compete against MPOWER. They just want to move on with their lives. The non-compete really screws you out of finding work and since you will most likely be fired or quit early on you should do yourself a favor and not sign it. It's not worth the anxiety and stress of you know, supporting your family and buying food or being stuck a job that you hate. When staff and prized doctor last a year or a few months or even a few weeks it's not them; its the company. They always talk about hiring great people, they totally do hire great people, and then turn them into shells of human beings full of resentment and anger. We've all gone on with our lives but so many people have been hurt or are still being hurt that we are standing up and saying run! On the outside it's a great concept, really nice state-of-art facilities but on the inside it is toxic. When you have to be told to say hi to upper management or you'll get written up, instead of just wanting to hi, you know it's bad.

The job is not worth the stress

Pros

I grew as a person here. I learned from my co-workers, the doctors, the clinical teams (Nursing, nutrition, PT, OT, personal training, massage). I made lifelong friends with coworkers and even patients. First class facilities and staff that are great to work with. I also learned that I can stand up for myself and others.

Cons

The noncompete is unrealistic. Don't sign it. Legally they can't fire you over it if you are already employed. If you absolutely want to work here negotiate the contract. Like said before....no job is worth not having one when you decide to leave here. Management is very "do as I say, not as I do". They say it's not about the numbers but when I saw the PT staff struggling to find time to go to the bathroom or even find time to eat during their 17 to 22 patient day, I doubt the words "quality care" come across anyone's minds. (For those who aren't familiar....this group provides care to all forms of athletes who may stay from 1-3 hrs for treatments). The salaries for all disciplines are not what they should be for the level of care that is provided and the amount of hours (expect to work over if you are salary) you pour your heart into. This wasn't a job to me, it was my career and a place to become better and grow. But I left daily feeling defeated, mentally abused, and like I was just a number. I have had emails sent to me and collegues by upper management standing in the same room instead of coming and speaking face to face. Expect lots of passive aggressive emails. Also, do not expect a copy of your exit interview. I was told by another coworker that you don't have access to your own personal file unless management authorizes it, hence all the write ups that you don't know about that the people prior spoke of. Your bonus is a joke and based off of goals that you will never benefit from...once again...just numbers. You don't receive any incentives if you make referrals to other disciplines. Your voice is not heard in recommendations you may make or that clients have made to upper management. In fact, I have first hand seen almost the opposite done. Their 5 year plan is to grow to have 20 facilities nationally, once again, how is this not about numbers!? I understand investment....invest in your people FIRST!!!
