Pros

My manager is supportive of my schedule. But that is manager specific, My previous manager was not at all, and somewhat a bully.

Cons

Very low pay. It is not based on experience at all. Everyone gets the same pay in this position, along with the front desk and other positions. Raises and bonus' are awful. They don't pay you based on your hard work either. They don't listen when you have issues with anything work related. I don't believe they care about the patients or employees. The higher ups make the money while you slave!

Pros

flexible - work from home option

Cons

1. You have to learn to use about 17 apps to talk to people about nothing to do with your job. 2. You are going to start off paying them instead of making an income for several months, which is unheard of in my experience and could put you into debt like it did for me. 3. Your time/work and life balance is not respected or maybe even noticed, as the only goal is to take in as much money as possible 4. You will have clients tell you they had to pay 325 dollars for an intake, and either quit right after because they can't afford it, or continue on, and you will see 50 dollars max of that payment while the company takes the rest. 5. Greed and misinformation about compensation are ok for this company for some reason (Google Lifestance and use AI - something I should have done, but didn't do until it was too late, unfortunately)
