Pros

Free snacks and bagels on Fridays. Nice location.

Cons

My disclaimer is that I haven't worked for ComPsych in 2 years. But I'm startled and saddened to see current reviews that reflect the same experiences I had 2 years ago... -Micromanaged to the bone -Poor training / policies changing constantly with no communication of changes -Chained to your desk -Call center environment -You will not get sufficient clinical experience to be a competent mental health professional -3 sick days a year that you need to request in advance (I guess we're all clairvoyant and know exactly what days we will be sick) -Entry level shift is 1-9pm -Very expensive "benefits" -Sub-par salary for masters-level clinicians -Expensive parking ($200/month while I was working there) -No mentorship or guidance from supervisors -High employee turnover - I can't remember my coworker's names since they were out the door as soon as they were in -Little engagement with co-workers since you're chained to your desk -You're expected to complete a comprehensive intake assessment in 5 minutes or less so you can hurry up and take another call -Rapid burnout from tremendous disorganization and high demand from management I could go into greater detail, but I think my experiences are shared based on the other negative reviews on Glassdoor. This company is doing a huge disservice to both its clients and its highly-educated and driven employees that want to pursue careers in mental health.

Pros

I have been working at Compsych for about 3 years now and i can say i really enjoy working there. Everyone is super supportive whenever i need assistance on something. Our new office is just an icing on the cake. I like working with my team and my manager is very supportive which makes me enjoy coming to work everyday.

Cons

I think it would be nice to have more opportunities to network with people from other departments

Pros

The mission is real here. ComPsych sits at the intersection of behavioral health and workforce wellbeing, and that purpose comes through in the daily work in a way that isn't just marketing language. If you care about the EAP space and the impact it has on employees around the world, this is a place where that matters. The people are a genuine standout. Across departments, you find colleagues who are sharp, collaborative, and invested in doing good work. Teams tend to be lean, which means individuals carry real responsibility and have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions. That can be energizing if you are someone who wants ownership over your work. The global scope of the business is a differentiator. For anyone interested in global operations, the breadth of markets and programs ComPsych operates across creates exposure that is hard to find elsewhere. There is real complexity to navigate and that complexity builds skills quickly.

Cons

Growth within the organization can feel inconsistent. There are opportunities, but they are not always visible or equitably communicated, and career pathing can vary significantly depending on your manager and team. Internal processes and cross-functional coordination can be slower than the pace of the business demands. As the company continues to grow globally, investment in infrastructure and process alignment would go a long way.
