Pros
- flexibility - make your own schedule - take as few or as many clients as you like - okay benefits (if you can meet their productivity standards) - opportunities for promotion
Cons
- constant changes and shifting in management due to high rates of employees leaving the company - CEO has no mental health background - management focus more on money as opposed to taking care of employees - productivity standards are difficult to meet to be considered full time - meeting clients in office is rarely an option - managers and team leads are often Bachelor level workers with no real counseling experience and manage teams of counselors - pressure to keep clients, even if it is unethical or unsafe to do so - everyone is expected to keep a caseload of clients, no matter your role in the company - it will take months to get insurance units sometimes
