Pros

Salary is competitive based on billable services but is less attractive when you consider follow-up and admin is not paid for

Cons

Lack of communication, poor coordination, under qualified leadership/poor vision of ground level issues resulting in ignoring problems or bad problem-solving, lack of engagement/automating communication to the point of disconnection, lack of investment in clients, lack of investment in community/lifestance is an institution unto itself, it's a McDonalds franchise model for volume that maps poorly onto the complexity of mental health and employees get blamed for the problems with both the strategy and the infuriating lack of investment in technology, acuity and complexity of care is not a consideration in productivity

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.
