Pros
Tempting salary Opportunity to make a huge difference (if allowed) Good experience for a new clinician to learn what NOT to do Attempts to meet a huge service delivery gap for the community
Cons
Questionable professional ethics Back-stabbing work environment Conflicting directives and poor managers “Divide and conquer” management mentality Overextended scope for service delivery Uneducated ignorant management bias toward a community in a different geographical location from corporate office Misrepresentations to insurance carriers about capabilities Irresponsible admissions and oversight Clinical inconsistencies present significant threats to independent licensure and/ or masters level training for licensure Large turnover in clinical staff Focus is on meeting agency overhead and financial profitability instead of providing a quality service for an underserved population.
