Pros
- Amazing supervisors and program directors who genuinely care about each individual clinician and go out of their way to make everyone feel seen and heard. - Freedom to think outside of the box and be creative - Company focuses on team building and having fun by planning events and weekly group supervisions - You work with a challenging population that encourages constant growth and learning - Employs clinicians who are different from one another and utilize different modalities, which encourages clinicians to learn from one another and grow in how they approach clients
Cons
- The agency doesn’t put much effort into continued education or training opportunities for its clinicians - There are cliques among clinicians and it’s often intimidating for new clinicians and long term ones alike. Some clinicians will make under their breath comments in group supervisions that can make you feel unwelcome - Due to the high need for clinicians many staff are not held to the same expectations in regard to client care or sharing the burden of large caseloads. Rather than terminate less effective and capable therapists, team leads continuously give other clinicians more because of their abilities, which leads to resentment and burnout.
