Pros
Caring staff who want to help clients. If you align with the company's very inclusive diagnostic approach, you may enjoy the work. Other psychologists seem happy there.
Cons
-Clinical approach favors inclusive diagnoses over objective data - nearly any behavior can be interpreted to support a diagnosis during consultations. -Implicit pressure to provide diagnosis, even when there is little evidence. -Actual workload is much higher than contracted expectations. -Pay is extremely low for the amount of work, work intensity, and expertise required. -No reimbursement for licensing or CEU fees despite needing to maintain state and PsyPACT licenses. -No bonus structure or cost of living raises. -Lack of flexibility in client scheduling for full-time employees. Requirement of having openings at least 4 days a week for at least 3 hours a day, plus separate time for feedback appointments. -Most clients have complex mental health needs beyond autism, making focused assessments challenging. It is draining to hear about so much trauma for 90 minutes at a time several times a day. -Leadership makes rapid changes with poor communication, creating unnecessary confusion. -They are developing their own report-writing software which frequently malfunctions, wasting more time than it saves. -No opportunity for growth unless you are part of the "inner circle" psychologists.
