Pros

Flexibility to work from home; wonderful colleagues

Cons

They continue to hire more providers while the providers they have are unable to fill their schedules at the pace they were led to believe would be possible. Many current providers worry they will not fill their schedules in time and the guaranteed incentive pay will run out. They have put a pause on their efforts to get providers licenses in other states (which they advertise as a perk they offer). They have also begun to peel back many other benefits they advertised (eg, changes to maternal leave and health insurance plans). Overall, providers feel pressured to broaden their preferences in order to get more patients, at the expense of building the types of practices they thought they would have the freedom to build. And all with lower than advertised pay (owing to the much slower ramp-up than advertised).

Thank you so much for your feedback. Being able to offer a flexible work environment that fosters collegial relationship is something we pride ourselves on. We hear your concerns and are making adjustments that will improve the support our psychiatrists receive (including full support with licensure). Your Chief can connect you with additional resources, too. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and thank you for the amazing work you do helping patients get the care they deserve.

Pros

The work is straightforward. The clients are mostly reasonable. I prescribe a lot of stimulants in states where I can prescribe them. The electronic medical record and the resources contained within make it easy enough to do it. A good job at this. They offer the use of an AI scribe to help with documentation. You can be involved as much or as little as you want to in activities beyond direct patient care. Talkiatry chooses to make its money through the use of the psychotherapy add-on code. You're incentivized to spend time talking with your patients, which seems like a win for everyone.

Cons

Figuring out how the performance portion of the pay structure works is challenging and takes several months. You also take a significant hit in taxes because of the the back that the performance portion of your salary is paid as a bonus which is taxed at 30%. This is higher than the base pay tax rate. I'm hopeful that I'll see the significant tax return next April.

Pros

Good office snacks - espresso - great parties.

Cons

Leadership did not practice the mission - no compassion - all about the show and money. No care for people. Nepotism. Open office environment.
