Pros

Flexible schedule. I think the medical benefits are good, pretty standard compared to most places; however, I am also without kids and do not have major health issues so I don't need much besides preventative stuff. The leadership in our state of WI is very receptive to feedback and involved with getting to know the different clinics. Nice facilities, computers given for work. Generally I feel like I get a good match with clients. Pay is good.

Cons

With fee for service pay there's no PTO given. It would be nice to have something, even if it was a week of sick leave or something like that. I think the lack of PTO creates more pressure to work through illness, extra around vacations, etc. I've had a number of clients struggle with billing issues and while I'm not sure what can be done with that, that can definitely impact client care and how they see LifeStance. There are free continuing education credits offered; however, they are typically not credits that I have interest in or are done in a format that doesn't work well for me. It would be nice to have some reimbursement for this (even a few hundred a year would go a long way on some sites like PESI).

Pros

Copilot said: Flexible hybrid schedule, autonomy and independence, supportive colleagues, collaborative culture with resource sharing, strong administrative support, modern and cozy office spaces, good work-life balance, and a positive team environment.

Cons

Fee-for-service model creates significant income instability, especially while building a caseload. Despite being paid per session, you are generally expected to remain available during your scheduled hours and need approval to block time, making it difficult to use gaps in your schedule freely. Vacation time, sick time, holidays, and office closures are unpaid. No-show compensation is inconsistent. Sign-on bonus repayment requirements can significantly reduce paychecks if you leave early. Health benefits are costly, with high deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses. The 401(k) match is decent, but the company contribution is paid annually, so employees who leave before the payout may miss out on the match. Overall, the compensation and benefits did not meet expectations, making this a financially risky position if one does not have substantial savings or another source of income.
