Pros
On the rare occasion when you get good co workers and management. They are the backbone for this work. Making your own schedule.
Cons
Awful, terrible, disrespectful, unprofessional and gaslighting management. I have never felt so bullied in my life by a bunch of people who don't care about about the clients nor staff. If you had a really intense client emergency, all they would ask is "did you bill for it?" completely dismissing or offering debriefing. I feel like I could have been shot in the arm and went to report it to my boss and they would also just ignore it and ask which code I will be billing my shooting under. You're just another dollar sign to them and a small one too unless you're an alien and can reach they outrageous and truly unrealistic billing expectations. I am fully aware that this is a paper pushing job, but bottom line is that we work IN mental health, yet they sadly are blind to respecting ours. How can we help others if we are beaten down on a daily basis?
