Avoid at all costs - Operations Manager LifeStance Health Employee Review

Foundationally, this company was not formed by, (nor is it meaningfully run by), anyone with any relevant experience in mental healthcare operations. They will tell you this directly, The recklessness and malpractice this corporation's model hinges on, borders on being an outright grift. "Inspired" by the demand for mental healthcare access following the COVID-19 shutdown, this is ultimately a matter of greedy investors eating up any small practices they can afford to front the cash for in the hopes of a major payout, and are doing so at their own detriment. From the long-term undervaluation/ short-term overvaluation, acquisition teams not meaningfully looking into the books of prospective sellers, or even researching any of the unique operational demands of the communities and client-bases they are serving, and, most crucially, having NO concept of the insurance payout system and its consequences, of which every cent of their returns is being hinged on at an increasingly critical level of urgency, as far as I can tell, can only mean that 1) this particular breed of greedy-investor-type is even dumber than your average/ they will go down with this ship, or 2) this obvious ballooning bubble of a business plan MAY ACTUALLY BE a knowing grift. I CANNOT speak to their intentions, it isn't for me to say whether or not this is or was ever intended to be an opportunistic scam to pump money from investors and shareholders, so I wont say that... All I CAN do is warn everyone to avoid working for this firm AT ALL COSTS. This will NOT end well for the healthcare workers involved, and will be even worse for the tens of thousands of patients who will lose their care when this model inevitably collapses. Get out while you can.
