Pros

You can make your own schedule.

Cons

It is with deep disappointment that I write this review], a mental health workplace that prioritizes profit over the well-being of clients and employees. This organization’s toxic culture is marked by poor supervision, burnout, and a dismissive attitude toward employee concerns, creating an isolating and overall disappointing environment. Safety protocols are inadequately implemented, putting staff and clients at risk. Instead of focusing on therapeutic outcomes and client wellness, LifeStance is obsessed with maximizing revenue and minimizing costs, harming everyone involved. One of the most egregious practices is the use of restrictive non-compete and non-solicitation clauses in employee contracts. These measures trap employees in a hostile work environment, preventing them from seeking better opportunities. This strategy stifles professional growth and perpetuates a cycle of exploitation and dissatisfaction. In a field as crucial as mental health, it is unconscionable for any organization to place profits above people. Significant changes are needed to transform this organization from a profit-driven entity into one that truly cares for the well-being of its clients and employees.

Pros

Incredible place to work to build experience, receive supervision while supporting a diverse client population. Extremely flexible hours, opportunity to either work from home or in office with administrative staff. Truly caring, intentional, experienced regional leaders that are open to feedback and value their employees.

Cons

Working in mental health in a publicly held corporation has its conflicts of interest. No paid vacation time for FT employees which is counterintuitive to the work we do as trauma informed providers. No paid training. Profitability and bottom-line results for shareholders should not be reason to think of long term needs and burnout potential of providers.
