Pros

Autonomy, not very burdensome charting requirements.

Cons

Stock bonus plan was sold as important part of compensation, but company just raised number of hours needed to qualify by almost 200 hours. Family insurance is ridiculously expensive ($19000 per year from paycheck) and isn’t even platinum coverage, and they don’t offer a stipend if one declines coverage (probably because they don’t even contribute towards the premium).

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.
