Pros

I think the only pros to working here are the clinical staff. The clinical/studio staff really do have the best interests of the patients in mind. The clinical team is super diverse, skilled, and great to work with.

Cons

1. Outside of the clinical/studio teams, corporate leadership is pretty out of touch with what's happening. They aren't aware of daily issues or areas of opportunity. Extremely unhelpful when issues arise and it is very much a "figure it out" environment. 2. The corporate/leadership team seriously lacks diversity. 2. The benefits are bare minimum. They do not give raises or bonuses despite the clinical team really putting themselves at risk during the pandemic while corporate sits behind a computer at home. Their paid time off policy is horrible and I can't say they support work-life balance. Health plans are horrible for a healthcare business. Zero appreciation for clinical staff who really run the whole operation. Don't expect much. 3. The morale of the studios is pretty low. The burnout is real. 4. The business is expanding rapidly at the expense of their employees. And it seems like they do not care.

Pros

There are many pros to think about while working with Tend! My favorite part is the tight-knit teams we have across the studios. Even though we are growing at very fast pace, the studios all form AMAZING bonds that I don't think you'd typically see in this industry.

Cons

This was a hard one to think of something to write, but if you're not acclimated to working late nights and weekends it could be considered a con.
