Pros

High-Pay, Remote Work, Equipment Provided

Cons

Expected to follow a strict script for communication with clients that removes individual intuitive agency or any creative problem-solving- all protocols were very hierarchical in nature & became more and more like a call center vs personalized, individual interactions (which is a huge turn off for people calling in for help with their mental health/to find a provider- they don't want to keep getting transferred to different departments or hear the same script from every person in any department, as if they're talking to a robot and not another human being). Another con was how they were making it so that you couldn't work part-time anymore (this is what I was told when I asked about it for future career planning) & so it became increasingly inflexible for those that wanted to pursue higher education or had other career aspirations outside of their company. The longer I stayed with the company and the more rules they added, the more I felt like my creative agency was becoming stifled.

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.
