Pros

- Helping people who are struggling - Being a part of a field that's revolutionizing psychiatry - Good middle management

Cons

- Insane workload (there's never getting caught up - you always have stuff to be doing which is stressful) - The management they brought in to "correct" the company had more bad than good consequences. I'm unsure if they are still in their position, but when I worked there, they were new (like me) but very micro-managing and did not understand how a good employee/employer relationship worked. The middle management was very nice and approachable. - They do not actually believe their company values (the owner visited us and mentioned how they'd love if we could embrace a company culture that was more accepting about employees own experiences with the drugs we run clinical trials on); people who spoke about their use were discriminated against. - I took a brief break under the agreed upon notion that I'd return in a week after regaining my health. I was let go halfway through this "mental health break". I could tell my supervisor cared about me, HR absolutely did not - they simply lied to my face to avoid any potential "crash out" an employee would have if being let go under my circumstances. That experience has forever hurt my trust in HR/companies that only see people as liabilities or money-makers.

Pros

Good pay with benefits. Positive inclusive environment with overall good multidiscipline team relationships with benefit of in-house psychiatry. No micromanaging and clear defined expectations.

Cons

Heavy client facing hour caseloads that could lead to burnout. Despite generous PTO, there is pressure to have clinical schedule set 3+ months in advance making it difficult to balance personal needs. Medical practice culture is put onto therapists.

Pros

The studies they are doing in the hallucinogenic space are very promising for those suffering from things like major depressive disorder. The therapists that work there are great people and staff is friendly (at least to your face).

Cons

If you're okay with no lunches, no breaks, having no study back ups, being expected to do the job of 4 full-time employees then this is your place. They are disorganized and WAY, WAY understaffed. I walked away because the amount of stress was overwhelming and there was no end in sight. There is literally no way to stay on top of everything and it wasn't just me, many staff members complained to me about stress and unrealistic workload and expectations. Be warned: they promise you a $200 for each randomization (I have it in writing) but then don't pay up. They still owe me and have ghosted me. I'm having my attorney write a letter. They also give you 5 weeks PTO, but trust me, you will NEVER be able to use it because there is no one to cover you for that much time off and you don't get paid out for what you don't use. It's all BS. Just don't...I promise you WILL regret it.
