Vantaggi
You were able to make your own hours and when I started management was supportive and trying to get staff resources in a limited resource environment. The families were great and I had a few consistent families I got to see you for a longer period of time.
Svantaggi
The fee-for-service model does not work in terms of actually gaining employment and keeping bills above water. I ended up making Billable for about half my 45 hours worked which was higher than many other therapists. Since the families experience high levels of stress and are often not able to Come in for sessions, the current employees lost hourly wages. Medical record staff was awful, slow, and vindictive. The turnover rate was high. There wa virtually no supervision or training.
