Pros

there are none at all

Cons

The contact they have therapists sign is misleading, at best. They lie. They don’t care about clients or front line therapists, you are a spoke in a wheel. They rip clients off with crazy late fees and private pay charges. They don’t listen to therapists and have office managers supervise them. I predict they will go belly up in 5 yrs because they are so poorly managed.

Worst Job Ever

Business Outlook

Pros

Colleagues that trauma bonded with one another

Cons

Worst job ever. No support. LOW pay. Inappropriate feedback from ill-trained 'supervisors'. Negative balance sick time or PTO, which means you work until you drop dead. Really awful place. All new job interviews I went on referred to Lifestance as the model for how to NOT be as a company. Avoid. Unless you like being burned out and miserable. Oh, and they never help you refer clients if it's a bad fit in either direction. So you get stuck with clients who don't like you, or you feel you can't help. It's so preposterous. Just really gross.
