Pros

Discretionary time off, great clinical staff team, fabulous support, autonomy as preferred, fabulous clients, ability to manage own schedule and client load. Great benefits to include CE reimbursement, wellness benefits, Chrome book.

Cons

It was literally the perfect job until new management came in and without warning, explanation, or apology, sent an email saying many of our benefits were going away and that salaried employees were moving to hourly effective in 21 days. I would have to move away from great work-life balance in order to pick up more clients just to make ends meet. No market value review of compensation. We were being required to log in and out of a time card as full time employees. No regard for long-time, high achieving employees. I never had a sick day in 3.5 years, I loved my clients and required very little supervision. Sadly, as with most companies and corporate culture in America, this once amazing company was taken over by greed. It broke my heart to leave, but as I taught my clients, I needed to live out my values and this company was grossly misaligned with my values when new management took over. We weren't even introduced to the new CFO, COO, etc. There were no statements made, no communication, nothing. It was disheartening and unbelievable. Once I told my clients I was leaving, many chose not to continue therapy. This disregard for client care was more than I could handle.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits and they provide you with equipment. It's a startup so there is definitely room to grow, my supervisor had only been with the company for 2 years! It was great being part of such a community driven to help people. I liked working in the startup environment, from marketing professionals, to MDs we all could give eachother tips, encouragement, and support in a slack channel. It was great to experience the company like a community, in my last job we could only speak within our bubble of teams.

Cons

The training process was very difficult because they don't send you equipment until after you complete training. I had to download a whole CRM system on my 6 year old Mac Sequoia and my computer has never recovered. Also there can be a lot of misinformation, you'll be told one process by someone and then be critiqued by someone else that it was incorrect, needless to say sometimes instructions were not very clear. I think it would help if they extended their training beyond 1 week. I do want to specify that the person in charge of the trainees is great and very diligent, the issue is with company policy and not an indvidual.
