Burnout central!

Therapist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay and benefits are good

Cons

Burnout central for mental health therapist. You see back to back patients all day with no time to go to the restroom. Managers only care about filling up your schedule and productivity. Lots of retaliation from management due to union environment. No breaks, must have schedule booked at all time. Not patient focused
