      Pros

      Flexiable hours, chances for bonuses and some upward mobility, offers supervision for licensure.

      Cons

      Lack of support at times, no clearly defined salary structure, no raises, reviews not completed in a timely manner, benefits are not very good for an agency in the (mental) health field, for profit mentality, clients' needs often need to be advocates for extensively by clinicians.

      Thank you for the review. We believe strongly in supporting our employees and helping them be successful in their careers. Wages are structured around educational level, licensure, and years of experience. This helps ensure that pay levels for our different programs are competitive externally and equitable internally. This structure is designed to reward performance and skills based on the results from performance evaluations. Any increase in pay is considered based on performance in key areas and within a range determined by the Corporation each year during the annual evaluation. We encourage our employees to discuss any questions or concerns about their pay or performance with their immediate supervisor or Human Resources. We value our employee’s motivation and hard work, and because of that we like to promote employees from within the company to move into higher level positions. We appreciate your feedback, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

      Pros

      I have found TWP to be an excellent place to work. My supervisor is amazing. The work environment is supportive, flexible, and autonomous. Colleagues are professional. Opportunities to earn continuing education credits are also provided. The support staff are amazing with their responsibilities and multi-tasking while being friendly too! Working at Ponessa is a stark contrast to the controlling, secretive, and unhealthy counseling organization I left just before being hired at TWP.

      Cons

      I cannot think of any.

      Pros

      I get to work with some amazing clients, largely independently. I like the amount of training and the ability to get CEUs.

      Cons

      When I began working here, hardly anyone would say hello back to me. I've since heard seasoned veteran MT/BSCs state that there's no purpose in speaking to new hires since "they are going to be gone within a few months anyway." It's completely true. There are a core of long timers that are preferred, and new hires have to "work your way up" to becoming full time. This is great, as long as you never get sick, make every last hour every single month (regardless of family availability) and every piece of paperwork is perfect and on time. Which means hardly no one makes it to full time.
