Pros

The pros are I guess the pay and the patients I get to see. I feel fulfilled by helping them out.

Cons

Disorganized. I was left to fend for myself for training and after a couple of months I feel like everything that I did get trained on is turning out to be useless. I come in each day expecting to be told that I’m doing something wrong even if I was taught that by the person who trained me. If you aren’t a clinician the company or your supervisor does not care about you. They only care about how fast you are, how much work they can dump on you, and making clinicians’ lives easier. The pay is okay (about $6 more than minimum wage) but for the amount of work, stress, and entitlement you recieve from colleagues are clinicians it should be AT LEAST $15 more. We should also get more paid holidays for sure (did not get indigenous peoples day or veterans day off for example).

Pros

They do offer health insurance and you will work at least 40/hrs a week.

Cons

Management is a joke; They will say whatever it is they think you want to hear but then turn around and sell you down the river to their bosses. They can't keep employees due to how terrible the work environment is. Therapists aren't getting paid due to a complete lack of organization. Employees are expected to cover all the empty roles with no training, guidance or oversite, then management gets made at staff for bills not getting paid, insurance information not being taken care of, etc. Don't expect any support from management whatsoever.
