Pros

Catered lunch 4X per week.

Cons

Co-founder is nothing more than a grown-up mean girl. There are cliques, blatant body shaming and GOSSIP, GOSSIP, GOSSIP. Don't expect to get ahead unless you're one of the "cool kids" and certainly don't expect hard work to pay off or even be noticed. The fact that this is a mental health company is laughable. I left the office most days for two full years overwhelmed with anxiety and feeling completely down about myself and the trajectory of my career. Stay far away.

Pros

It was nice having the flexibility and comfort of working at home. I also appreciated that they offered free monthly continuing education credit (CE) courses.

Cons

Unfortunately, they operate as a typical corporate business, prioritizing their own profit and success over the treatment of their providers and clients; especially when compared to the closeness and community you would get being at a smaller company or private practice instead. Inability to choose clients or manage your own caseload; an automatic “matching” technology system used, lack of autonomy. There is a lack of universal standards or ethics being practiced and upheld by providers; sometimes the quality of care you receive as a client truly depends on the provider you have; allegations of providers using AI. There is little transparency, guidance, or clear communication from leadership; the company will put themselves first, and sometimes will have unrealistic expectations of providers, leading to stress and workplace anxiety.
