Pros

Flexible schedule, create your own hours

Cons

The company was extremely deceptive to many different locations and therapists through recruiting/onboarding, promising to pay for no-shows (lies) and stating their pay is competitive with other companies. The health insurance is BEYOND expensive, the sign-on bonus is heavily taxed, it takes forever to try and build up a caseload and the pay is absolutely horrendous. $800 for two weeks worth of work/clients is ridiculous with a Master's level education and it's across the board that the pay is awful. This company is an absolute scam on such a large level, it's alarming. Executive leadership has no clue what they're doing, doesn't care at all about their employees and continues to lie regarding policies/procedural changes.

Pros

Incredible place to work to build experience, receive supervision while supporting a diverse client population. Extremely flexible hours, opportunity to either work from home or in office with administrative staff. Truly caring, intentional, experienced regional leaders that are open to feedback and value their employees.

Cons

Working in mental health in a publicly held corporation has its conflicts of interest. No paid vacation time for FT employees which is counterintuitive to the work we do as trauma informed providers. No paid training. Profitability and bottom-line results for shareholders should not be reason to think of long term needs and burnout potential of providers.
