Pros

Flexibility of working remotely (main reason I took this job) Great coworkers and clinical leaders.

Cons

Growing too fast to support the staff they have. Ramp up is not what was promised. Support staff seemed stressed and overworked. Not following through on promises made when hiring. Was promised to be licensed in other states, now will not help with that and instead hiring new providers and getting them licensed in multiple states. The comprehensive screening process that was promised is gone in lieu of automated scheduling processes, which has led to numerous inappropriate patients being scheduled.

We really appreciate your candor. We're happy you enjoyed your time with coworkers and clinical leaders. We also take your suggestions for improvement seriously. We're rolling out some new processes and tools to step up our clinical support and are continuing to think of new ways to make sure our physicians have everything they need to be successful. Thank you for the feedback and your patience.

Pros

The work is straightforward. The clients are mostly reasonable. I prescribe a lot of stimulants in states where I can prescribe them. The electronic medical record and the resources contained within make it easy enough to do it. A good job at this. They offer the use of an AI scribe to help with documentation. You can be involved as much or as little as you want to in activities beyond direct patient care. Talkiatry chooses to make its money through the use of the psychotherapy add-on code. You're incentivized to spend time talking with your patients, which seems like a win for everyone.

Cons

Figuring out how the performance portion of the pay structure works is challenging and takes several months. You also take a significant hit in taxes because of the the back that the performance portion of your salary is paid as a bonus which is taxed at 30%. This is higher than the base pay tax rate. I'm hopeful that I'll see the significant tax return next April.
