Business Outlook

Pros

There is some flexibility due to lack of scheduling

Cons

This company operates unethically, prioritizing profit over the well-being of both clinicians and clients. They demonstrate a blatant disregard for ethical guidelines and fail to provide the quality care that clients deserve. Their practices undermine the integrity of mental health services, and they should not be entrusted with providing care.

Pros

Tons of referrals, hybrid options available

Cons

Staff were encouraged to take on cases we didn't have knowledge/expertise in for the sake of filling our caseload, even to the detriment of patient care. No pay increases. No PTO. Limited communication with management. No training on site. No training for all the rollouts for all the changes they implement.
