If you’re looking to join this company as a BHM, DONT. They are going to try to wine and dine you to suck you in. They are going to try to make it seem like they are paying you more than the “market rate” and will try to sell you that they are SO different than the other mental health care companies out they. They are all about putting dollars into their own pockets. All of the previous five star reviews are written by employees who do NOT work in the field, but at HQ. There is such a disconnect between headquarters and the BHMs who are the ACTUAL revenue source for this company. They do nothing but exploit them. They preach work/life balance but if you're not seeing at least 8 clients per day (or meeting your “productivity numbers”) they will micromanage you until you do. They claim you have at least two hours per day to do documentation, which is laughable because that means you are able to finish all your sessions at exactly the 45 minute mark and spend 15 minutes documenting (god forbid you actually want to try to connect with other office staff, take a breather to decompress, or run to the bathroom). They like to monopolize your lunch hour with meetings too, but will give you a lunch to try to make up for it! , Good luck trying to schedule and use PTO, because you’re still expected to meet the same “productivity numbers” if you do (like what’s the point of PAID time off then?). They will tell you how much they take care of their BHMs. The life cycle of a BHM is 13 months—they leave once the glitter has worn off and they see what this company is actually about. They constantly say they are different than private practice yet say “well if this were private practice you would have to do xyz”. You talk to your higher ups and they just spin things on YOU. You’re made to feel like you’re not doing enough or you somehow could be doing more. There is no accountability from HQ. They want to believe they are “best in the biz” they aren’t.
If you’re new to the field, RUN! They are trying to exploit you. There are better jobs out there!
