Pros

Flexible schedule hybrid options for the most part you are pretty autonomous, you can choose to be as engaged or as minimally involved as you'd like

Cons

Pretty much everything. Like others have echoed, pay is absolutely abysmal and as a mental health practitioner, it is completely counterproductive to preach self care to clients when you really are not able to practice it yourself if you actually want to make money at this dump. Bait and switch is an understatement. Unless you work like a dog, 'round the clock, you will not make anywhere near the money quoted by the recruiters or in the job listings. You likely will not ever have a full caseload which means be prepared to be struggling financially. I am leaving ASAP, sign on bonus and contract be damned. This entire fee for service structure and idea to see more clients to make more money should be unethical. This entire company needs to be shut down.

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.
