Pros

- consistent pay - decent pay split (depending on degree and state of practice) - easy to fill caseload

Cons

- There has been a lot of instability in the company since the Ginger/Headspace merger. A lot of management has jumped ship, there's been a lot of layoffs, which included eliminating W2 therapist positions in favor of contractor positions to cut benefits, benefit cuts to remaining W2 employees, and more - While they're fairly hands-off, they are very strict about note documentation. It's important for insurance audits, but feels invasive with how frequent internal audits are done.
