Pros
*PTO and Paid Sick Time * Lots of opportunities for CE's, both live and recorded * Health Insurance * Reasonable expectations for client contact hours (24-26/wk) * A variety of different clients from all walks of life
Cons
*They only offer one type of health insurance * No 401K matching * Not supportive of promoting therapists from within or creating a clear pathway as to how to develop skills and career in other departments within the company * very minimal raises and no cost of living adjustments * very numbers driven and the quarterly bonus is almost completely dependent on symptoms reduction for clients and maintaining a minimum number of client facing hours each week, regardless of the need or season * Your clients will typically not be part of the "worried well" crowd, they have complex needs and for many of them the short-term therapy model of 8-12 sessions is not going to meet there needs, so that will impact your income * Not prepared to service clients with severe trauma and mental health but they strongly discourage therapists from referring to community providers * The salary is not sufficient unless you qualify for every bonus opportunity each quarter - which is nearly impossible during typically slow times for most therapists like summer break, scheduled PTO for the employee, and during the holidays *The base salary is based on the cost of living in your zip code. * If the median household income is 110k in your zip, and the base is in the mid-80's, a person living alone in my zip code will fall short
