Pros

-I get to make my own schedule (have more control over work/life balance) -Quotas for benefits are based on your availability, not number of clients who show (good if you sometimes have issues with no shows) -They provide membership to PsyHub and provide inhouse trainings for CEs -Inhouse consultations, multiple services (Psychiatry, skill training, case management, psychological testing, and therapy], so it's easier to refer clients for services. -maintain and help with your credentialing with several insurance boards -Allow you to work remote, in person, or hybrid (no pressure, your choice]

Cons

-Fee for service, Pay presents lower than expected and compared to other agencies in the area. -no pay or credit for trainings, documentation, or anything you are required/mandatory to do that is not directly with the patient. -hired me with one agreement/contract, then switched expectations for benefits requirement one year later, policies are still be established so it feels like constant change of expectations -no PTO and you have to spread out your vacations/sick time or you'll drop below the limit of availability and could lose ALL benefits (medical, dental, retirement, etc.) OR you have to work extra hours to make it up the availability loss.

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.
