Pros

Great peers ( they do not stay long) Assist with pay for license renewal ( if you leave within 6mo of payment you will be asked to pay back, if you do not give 2 mo notice , they will ask for it back) Fully remote Pccs can assist with admin ( but there are basically yearly lay offs specifically for pccs,which means new staff often.

Cons

I added some important info to the pros that are also negative. The new expectation is for therapists to have 35 hours worth of clinical time. They " claim" they expect 80% but if you take pto your productivity is calculated incorrectly. If you discuss numbers with admin, they basically tell you that it is wrong. There is incentive but it is usually a hundred or so dollars. They now offer bonuses but they utilize inaccuracy metrics on their " score card" that is innaccurate which makes it almost impossible to receive. The salary roughly equals $36.00 an hour when clients are expected to pay $163.00 an hour. The company feels therapists are replaceable and staff leave frequently, there is no attempt to keep them. Therapists are given no admin time, they feel it is not needed, secretly they think that we are only cash cows.

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.

Pros

The work is manageable. There's no unreasonable metrics, and the pay is just right for the role.

Cons

Maybe some of the managers who'd like to impress the bosses like you know what I mean.
