Pros
- Fairly flexible work schedule depending on who your immediate supervisor is - Ability to attend CEUS without having to use up PTO - Most of the therapists and RC's care deeply and were wonderful colleagues - Clinical experience is good if you're interested in working with co-occurring disorders - you'll learn a lot quickly
Cons
- Raises are few and far in between, but management asking more and more of you happens frequently - Extremely unrealistic and constantly changing expectations around documentation, caseload requirements always increasing - Clinical licensure supervision was no longer being included as part of the benefits package by the time I left (which is unfortunate, as they primarily hire pre-licensed clinicians) - Very poor communication between clinical staff, medical staff, and business staff - Quite a lot of favoritism and nepotism - People getting promoted to positions they were absolutely not qualified or prepared for (see above about favoritism) - Benefits are terrible. I had no 401K match the entire time I worked there. Health insurance plan was so poor that I avoided medical care. - No PRN therapists, so sick days and time off were really difficult to manage and we were often expected to figure out our own coverage for groups - Lack of attention to and training/education around diversity issues - lots of smoke and mirrors; management often had the right words to say but didn't follow through with actions -High turnover of therapists
