Pros

A good place to get plenty of client hours needed to fulfill the requirements of your internship. Full time staff do get access to insurance although the rates aren't great. Current office supervisors were great at time of leaving.

Cons

The company lost its SEDNET contract in 2015 making it harder to see clients at OCPS schools. Turnaround of both therapists and supervisors was high. (Although the current management at the time of leaving was great). There are weekly reports to upper management that state what your client hours are. Full time are expected to meet 20 or more client hours per week and will be given a false load of 25-30 or more to make sure you don't fall below those standards. This can lead to burnout. Mediocre insurance rates. No company matching on 401k (instead they choose to pay out in merit raises). It's difficult to achieve above a 3 percent merit raise because of how they score your reviews (3 out of 5 means you are doing your job as expected).

Pros

Clients in need of help. Hiring process is pretty fast.

Cons

Low pay. Demands not consistent with company standards and practices. Concerned with diagnostic not client health. Prescribed medications that patients do not really need.
