Pros

Decent work/life balance, however your time off wont feel like it's enough with the work load. Other clinicians are absolutely some of the best I've ever worked with, unfortunately you wont be spending time with them or getting to know them much outside of the forced meetings that there are 3 a week some weeks.

Cons

Intense meetings and micromanaging. You'll have all notes reviewed and told how to do notes as a licensed clinician according to somebody who is not a therapist and if you don't comply they will write you up. Will probably be laid off on a whim of the CEO and other 3 letter members. When that happens nobody will know, they'll lie about it in the news and call you "content creators" and then tell your clients "your therapist had a personal emergency" so that nobody knows they forced people to abandon over 500 clients in a layoff, which is hard to justify when we work with suicidal members, members in the queer community etc. This company was really good when it was Ginger, the merger really messed up the priorities here and while benefits are good, they've been getting cut every single quarter to prioritize money to pay for the CEOs 700k a year salary.

Pros

-they offer great resources for members to utilize -continued education to sharpen your coaching skills

Cons

-there have been so many changes and expectations that are frustrating to navigate -they expect way too much for so little pay and no benefits -this role is so taxing on your own mental health... many of the members that you see aren't a good fit for coaching, so you're also filtering a lot of members for therapy and navigate really heavy mental health conversations that aren't within the scope of coaching -feedback isn't delivered live, it's all put in a spreadsheet that's clearly input by automation
