Pros

The people that work here are generally smart and well intentioned.

Cons

Where to begin. At first you think it sounds great to work for a mental health company...until you realize the company and management does not practice what they preach. The work environment is overall stressful, kind of awful, and very problematic. Management lacks the emotional maturity required to successfully lead a department. For example, they routinely speak negatively of other employees behind their backs, including their direct reports, to other employees. They also treat direct reports differently, based on personal biases. What one person can get away with, another is scrutinized for. As other reviews have mentioned, management is completely insecure and self-serving and is therefore more interested in taking others down rather than figuring out how to extract quality work from the team. You may feel like you are walking on eggshells on a daily basis, trying to navigate the erratic moods and passive aggressive behaviors of management. If you aren’t interested or good at playing office politics you should probably run from this company especially if you have other options. Lastly, management’s treatment of young female employees, pregnant, and mothers of young kids is abhorrent. So be warned and know your worth. I wished I had a heads up about all of these issues. It would have saved me a lot of unnecessary stress.

Pros

Great people in the IT Department who were really tight, helped one another out, and generally worked super well together to keep the company from imploding. Immediate supervisors/managers were also stellar people. Company was pretty fair in pay, and definitely fair in equipment expenses. Severance package was also fair considering the revolving door of layoffs. All in all, the direct team I was in was a joy to work with.

Cons

C-Level needs to get rid of CTO immediately to forestall him sinking the company. His retention seems purely out of some sort of nepotism, since it certainly wasn't skill or charisma. Full department meetings were agonizing due to his. C-Level also constantly made poor upper level personnel decisions, necessitating no less than three layoff periods during my tenure. C-Level also was not transparent with realities company was facing, and the last layoff period burned a number of bridges as well as any goodwill towards the company leadership. Overall, the favoritism and appearances were more important to them than the employees.

Pros

Work from home/flexible schedule After being with the company for a few years my schedule is busy and I am satisfied with my compensation I have wonderful Patient Care Coordinators to assist with administrative tasks They are ACGME accredited which is HUGE in my book. This also means CME credit for educational activities My chief is supportive and very available to me when I have questions They do focus on improving the company culture and employee wellness Patient population is comprised mainly of young students, employed professionals or Medicare patients, very rewarding to treat Great IT support Streamlined processes for things such as transferring and discharging patients

Cons

The billing department seems to be a work in progress, however I think patients sometimes blame Talkiatry for things such as insurance plan deductibles which is out of our control
