Pros

Flexible with scheduling, easy with on boarding, they recruit you.

Cons

They don't give raises to everyone, like other companies with the same contract. They don't follow labor laws, they allow GS admin to mistreat their own employees. People constantly quit because of the treatment and pay. They make you use your PTO/sick hourd to do CE training or other training needed for the job. PhD's get paid 30-40k more but do the same job duties as LCSW'S

Pros

Good project teams on average

Cons

Selfish leadership and no opportunity for career advancement. Very much a click based leadership group that focuses on a buddy system over skills and proof of work
