Pros

autonomy over your own schedule

Cons

Overworked and underpaid, case load is unrealistic, lack of paid time off, lack of admin support. Worst possible type of place to work as a Resident in Counseling. Don't do it. Severely underpaid and overworked, and there are constant changes on the admin side of the company and way too much admin work that clinicians don't get compensated for. There isn't enough organized group supervision / consultation so you will struggle to get your hours. And the meetings that you're required to attend you're obviously not compensated for. It's insane to me that a company built to profit off the mental health / self care industry doesn't have paid time off to support the self care of its own employees. Super problematic. My year working here has been absolutely miserable.

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.
