Pros

Great benefits package, good people to work with, flexible remote policy,

Cons

Doesn't feel like a not-for-profit type of company. Feels like a full blown profit-minded corporation. Way too much corporate bureaucracy, no recognition for lower to mid level employees (upper management takes all the credit - promotions and all - for your hard work). Job and career stagnation is massive over here too. The company is having trouble retaining a younger workforce, due to the company culture being stuck in its old antiquated ways.

"Therapy" unlike anything I was trained to do!

Mental health clinician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits become "golden handcuffs".

Cons

Not being able to see patients more than once every 4-6 weeks. They make you see so many patients in order to make a profit that there is barely any time to do paperwork, call/e-mail patients back..let alone go to the bathroom or eat. You will have no voice and need to keep up the pace and not lose your mind while doing unethical "managed" care.

Great benefits and Pay. Terrible work life balance.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and salary. Opportunity to move around throughout the company

Cons

There are never enough therapists. We keep striking to demand more providers because it’s impossible to keep up and to provide the care patients need.
