Pros
Good supervision and support network depending on location. Flexibility with work schedule when it comes to logging work hours. It's rewarding when the families and clients are grateful to have the support network and are responding well to health related services. The pay scale is based on your productivity meaning you can basically make your own paycheck throughout each pay period.
Cons
The billable expectation makes it challenging to acquire incentive rate . A decent majority of the hours worked will be non-billable work (Completing notes, clerical office work, staff meetings, travel time, and more). Non-bill work pays out flat rate however in order to earn incentive wage, you are required to meet companies billable expectation throughout each pay period. Once expectation is met, any additional billable hours will be paid out at the incentive wage. The company seems to put more emphasis on meeting the billable expectation than to provide the clinical services. The job description and pay scale sounds great on the surface although the job as a whole takes much more effort, resiliency, and organization to make the best of position. To simplify things, the pay scale is not worth the mental exhaustion unless you are willing to consistently and significantly exceed the billable expectation throughout each pay period.
