Pros

Great clients and the office staff is helpful.

Cons

I have never felt so devalued as an employee. The amount of work that clinicians are expected to do and not get paided for because the burden would fall to clients is wrong. They pay 3 hours of non-facetime to clinicians, when session prep, follow-up, crisis care, consultatings with parents and school counselors and notes take a lot longer. In the past year more documentation requirements and policy changes have been added including restrictions to managing schedules. The company will limit your sessions if you don't finish your documentation within 24 hours. There is Holiday pay for the office executives and office staff, but not for the clinical staff. The company keeps hiring multiple clinicians and not filling the schedules of current clinicians. Managers do not give honest answers to clinicians questions about any of the above. Non-paid mandatory trainings

Pros

Incredible place to work to build experience, receive supervision while supporting a diverse client population. Extremely flexible hours, opportunity to either work from home or in office with administrative staff. Truly caring, intentional, experienced regional leaders that are open to feedback and value their employees.

Cons

Working in mental health in a publicly held corporation has its conflicts of interest. No paid vacation time for FT employees which is counterintuitive to the work we do as trauma informed providers. No paid training. Profitability and bottom-line results for shareholders should not be reason to think of long term needs and burnout potential of providers.
