Thank you for sharing your experience and for your thoughtful feedback. We’re so glad to hear that your role as a Lead Clinician has been rewarding. It’s wonderful to know that the work/life balance, accessible supervision, collaborative culture, and leadership support have made a positive impact. We’re especially glad that our check-ins and surveys feel meaningful and that you’ve seen follow-through on what matters most. Thank you for all that you do for your students and for being a valued part of the ESS team.

Pros

Holiday break is definitely the best pro.

Cons

This place is toxic, stressful and lacks integrity. Management isn’t supportive . They rather micromanage and monitor. Poor management and communication. Expectations constantly changing to suit the company needs and to cover up any wrongdoing. Be careful because management are willing to lie on you and write you up for minor issues. HR and management work together to cover up and will do anything to not lose the school contract. This organization creates more issues at your own well-being! Many cons and not worth the money for all the high demands and intense documentation. Work here at your own risk! Sad this is even a mental health company and the truth will come to light.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience felt this way. We take concerns around management, communication, and workplace environment seriously. Our goal is to provide a supportive setting where clinicians feel respected, guided, and able to focus on their clinical work. We continue to invest in training, supervision, and leadership development to strengthen consistency across teams. HR follows established standards and processes designed to ensure fairness, compliance, and consistency, and while some decisions can be difficult, the goal is always to act legally and in the best interest of all parties involved. We also want to acknowledge that school-based work can be demanding, and experiences can differ depending on the setting and team. Feedback like yours is important in helping us evaluate and improve. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
