Pros

Pays on time Pays provider's insurance Can't think of others

Cons

To be a full-time employee they require 30 direct hours, 20 of which are prime time, meaning evenings and/or weekends. If you are a single parent, or a parent at all - good luck. Consistently hires new employees and does not fill therapists schedules or overbook other therapists. Highly focused on paperwork and compliance and little room for actual therapy work discussions in the monthly supervisions. Buys smaller companies and practices and turns everything into unified communist style of management with little to no room for creativity or personal touch by the therapist. It's ok entry level job. Get your hours and then run before you get sick and burnt out. Employees are numbers and stats.

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.
