Pros
- Get your pre-licensed hours FAST - Meaningful work with underserved population - Work with amazing therapists and case managers - After working here paperwork at any other job will be easy. Would only recommend to someone fresh out of grad school who wants to get their hours quickly.
Cons
You get your hours fast because you are working at least 50 hours a week to meet productivity. Never ending pressure from supervisors to meet productivity with no empathy for reasons why you might not be making productivity (i.e discharged several clients in one month, clients on school breaks). Once you've learned the standard EBPs your clinical skills development becomes stagnant. Supervision primarily focused on billing and paperwork, not clinical skills. High turnover. Benefits package pretty standard and minimum. I felt like I was viewed as entirely disposable. Tons of nepotism. Encouraged to use my PTO when at risk of not meeting productivity for the month.
