Pros
flexible scheduling, freedom to pick clients, lots of locations, very good for clinical internships and beginner therapists to get experience in the field
Cons
fee split is terrible, billing is terrible, no EHR system which is terrible, getting a response to an email sometimes never happens, clients get frustrated with billing and therapists have too much admin responsibilities we do not get paid to do or should have to learn if we have an admin team. There are also some ethical concerns honestly. Passive aggressive management. No sense of community, I have seen maybe 3 coworkers in the office and speak to 1. Lots of turnover. They wouldn't even purchase a filing cabinet for an office. Insurance claims are not billed on time, extremely low paychecks and only get paid once a month. Burn out and frustration. I have to manually type every detail about the client for every session on a google sheet which feels sketchy.
