Pros

you are in charge of how much you work and when, flat rate reimbursement means you get paid whether insurance pays or not, direct regional director is nice and helpful, small bonuses based on completion of paperwork within 24 hours and a bump based on how long you've been there, not having to do billing, easy to get clients, possible to do all telehealth

Cons

flat rate is low (they did increase it recently), flat rate for couples therapy is lower than an individual session, clinicians don't accrue PTO at the same rate as admin staff - only 1hr for every 30 full hour sessions, sometimes feels like clinicians are pressured to take on more clients, billing issues happen a lot, on the surface the company values are amazing but I don't really feel it. They keep adding sites and clinicians but haven't solved basic support and billing problems. CEO was a clinicians first but just recently brought in people who know business works so some of the problems are just now getting resolved

Pros

You have flexibility with your scheduling.

Cons

This company is a mess. First of all, they underpay their clinicians to a ridiculous degree. Each hour session has a flat rate which is paid out to the clinician. It is LESS THAN half of what the insurance companies are reimbursing. To earn adequate income, you’d have to meet with at least ten clients a day. All clinicians know that that is terrible practice and a very good recipe for immediate burnout. In addition, there are TERRIBLE benefits here. Their 401k program has a match which you will never receive unless you have worked there for at least 7 years. Insane. They will give you ONE HOUR of PTO per every THIRTY HOURS WORKED. Also insane. Just pathetic. If you do end up taking vacation, you end up working through it just so you can pay your mortgage and your bills. Another recipe for immediate burnout. Lastly, upper management is just awful. The billing department is practically non-existent. They don’t answer the phone nor return emails. This leaves both clinicians and clients upset. The “site directors” who are supposed to oversee the offices are inaccessible. I don’t even have a telephone number for my current site director, nor have I met her. If you have an emergency with a client, you are left out on an island to deal with it without any support nor anyone even to call. The offices lack even basic necessities like functioning computers and office supplies. They have no microwaves nor refrigerators to store or heat up a lunch. Yet the CEO is constantly encouraging the clinicians to go back onsite, after most went remote through the pandemic. This company is extremely unstable. If you have a salaried position with PTO and benefits, hold onto it. I left my last (stable) position to shift here and try something different. I have regretted it every day since.

Thriveworks Response

Thank you so much for this valuable feedback! We hate that your time with Thriveworks is anything but great, but we can still certainly work to make it better, and we will! It does seem like your experience is very different from most, though; perhaps it’s due to some of the information you have being incorrect. Please allow us a moment to respond, so we don’t continue the trend of misinformation. To start off, contributions made by your employer vest after 3 years of working with the company, not 7 years. All of our 300 plus offices are furnished with microwaves and refrigerators. I am not sure how your office did not have this, but it is definitely something we could have sent within a few days. I am sorry you were not happy with our PTO plan. PTO was something that we found most fee-for-session outpatient practices didn't even offer, and so most of our clinicians see that as a differentiator. That being said, we are continuing to evaluate our benefits to see where we can continue to improve. We pride ourselves on our ability to completely support our clinicians with most administrative tasks, and it sounds like that was not the experience you had. As a Thriveworks clinician, we absolutely want to keep hearing the challenges everyone is experiencing. Our intentions are to never leave you feeling unsupported or without the tools and direction to do your job well.

Pros

1. The ability to work remotely 2. 401K Employer Match

Cons

1. Customer service representatives are expected to sell the poor benefits of their premium service and given less then 10% of the money they bring in 2. For a company that provides mental health care, their front line workers are put in a high stress environment. Sadly, zero benefits are provided to protect the mental health of their workers. 3. Low performers are promoted with pay raises over high performers 4. Billing department practices are causing patients more anxiety and stress 5. Extremely poor company culture and high turnover
