Pros

Absolutely love the vibe here! From day one, the team and management were incredibly welcoming. They really went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed to settle in. It's made a huge difference, not just in getting up to speed with the work but also in feeling like a valued part of the company. It's fantastic that our company offers a clear promotion ladder, something that's quite rare in many other places. This structure not only provides us with a transparent path for career progression but also motivates us to aim higher and work towards our professional goals. Knowing that there are defined steps and milestones to achieve makes the journey towards career advancement feel more attainable and structured. It's encouraging to see that our efforts and achievements can lead to tangible growth within the company.

Cons

The amount of driving this job requires can definitely be a bit much at times. But honestly, the chance to really make a difference in our clients' lives, especially those far off the city, makes all those miles worth it in my book. There's something truly rewarding about knowing you're contributing in such a meaningful way. It's also a bit disappointing that the company doesn't offer paid days off for professional development. It feels like I am investing my own time to enhance my skills, which ultimately benefits the company by improving how I serve my clients and I think they should be more supportive of that.

Pros

Nice management and no point system

Cons

If you don't want to be homeless like I have almost been 2 times because it's impossible to make a living as a single person here. They know it too. HR is useless every fast food place around starts higher then this place. Raises every year are laughable because they are literally cents...btw it only the cost of living increase. While the upper management make all the money the hard workers in the hot no air conditioner in the the warehouse that keep this place afloat make peanuts....tell me could you live on 400 a week that's 40 hours.

Pros

The main benefit to working here is gaining experience and training as a provisional psychologist. Colleagues are supportive and friendly and you will bond over the absurdity of the unrealistic role demands. There is a lot of diversity in the workplace but you would expect that of a company that appears to struggle to retain staff.

Cons

Employees are overworked and underpaid, with minimal administrative support and unrealistic KPIs. Staff are also pressured to work outside their scope of practice without necessary training or skillsets. Employees who raise legitimate concerns about business practices are dismissed as having poor work ethic or time management skills despite it being common knowledge that the workload is unsustainable. Even when management requests direct feedback, nothing translates into change. The business is built on the concept of promoting mental wellbeing and yet struggles to create a psychologically safe or supportive environment for its own employees.
