Pros
Good support and camaraderie among colleagues.
Cons
The company seems motivating at first, but policies primarily benefit the business rather than employees or clients. Salaries are on the lower side, and if you need to travel to McKinney for orientation, all expenses are your own. Both orientation and training hours are low-paid ($10–$12 per hour) for highly qualified professionals. Please read the contract carefully before signing. Client care requirements are rigid: clients are often scheduled for at least weekly sessions for six months, regardless of whether they agree or actually need the service. Clients often become frustrated, feeling treated like a “business” rather than individuals, and it is the therapist who must handle the fallout. Therapists often feel they are acting unethically when taking time off, because if they cannot see their clients that same week, clients are almost forced to see another therapist. All responsibility is placed on the therapist, even when they have proactively tried to manage the situation or seek help. Overall, the focus feels more on profit than on mental health.
