Pros

Engaging, pleasant, professional recruiters to initially hire you, however they are clearly hiding information or just completely out of touch with the reality of what's going on with employees.

Cons

Total bait and switch. No support - or even basic humanity. All they care about is MONEY! Even with a fully loaded 30 hours of clients each week, you will never reach the delusional expectations of this poorly managed company. To get you in the door, they say you need to see 25 clients a week, but what they really mean is billables (not the same thing). You would have to see at least 40 clients or more each week to even scatch the surface of what they are looking for. We are therapists- not machines, who spend countless hours supporting clients through a multitude of complex issues and crises. Every. Single. Day. Do we not need self care too? Regrettably I turned down 8 different job offers (no kidding) to take this one because of the recruitment process and what was presented prior to hire. Ugh!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We’re sorry to hear that your experience has felt different from what you had anticipated—especially given the trust you placed in joining our team. We hear the frustration in your words and understand how difficult it can feel when expectations and reality do not align. We do want to clarify an important point in your review: our hiring materials, job postings, and website all consistently reference a goal of 25 billed hours per week, rather than 25 individual clients. While we understand this distinction can feel significant in practice, it has always been our intention to be transparent about performance expectations from the outset. The majority of our clinicians are able to meet this goal without carrying an unsustainable number of clients, and we provide support to help each clinician maintain a balanced, manageable caseload. We're sorry that you did not feel that our organization was a good fit for you. The vast majority of our employees—clinical, operational, and support—have been clear in their appreciation for the culture and environment we have worked hard to develop at Headlight. We wish you the best of luck in your professional journey.
