This is a low pay, no benefit, 1099 operation. No one even bothers to take the time to personalize any communications with you- they just keep sending you auto-generated emails. It's apparent they do not even know what speech pathologists do or the amount of training they have. You get passed from department to department and the initial people that contact you are unprofessional. Their concern is the amount of money they can bring in. It was apparent this company doesn't care about the quality of therapy or value their therapists. Teletherapy has a potential to be a great way of delivering speech services. If you care about the families, students and ethics this may not be the job for you, especially if you get assigned to a school is extremely unethical! Gave 2 stars b/c the flexibility and nice families - not the company. No loyalty when you stick it out and go above and beyond for the company! So much more - just beware. Not all assignments are the same and some schools have high turnover. Good luck if you have a crisis and need support they have no clue what to do. I don't think the company is aware of what social workers do and definitely do not have anyone there to support them. PL throws their own contractors under the bus and would not stand up for them. PL stood behind one school that is notorious for poor treatment of staff(borders emotional abuse), not following IEP guidelines, lying to parents about their rights and plan. Will put the pressure on their contractors even when the school is out of line and not following guidelines. 2 great managers who advocated for staff and students disappeared quickly. Managers change frequently and offer little support. Good platform-that may be the only real plus. Fair pay, but for those with experience pay is low. Great job in regards to flexibility and creating your own schedule. Take this into account when you're looking at your hourly wage. (Emails, phone calls, etc)The company calculates what they consider is a reasonable time for you to complete all of the work for your caseload. You can try to use this time to catch up on paperwork, preparation, etc. During this time, you are basically tethered to your computer. They can be a small as 15 minutes and as long as hours. Consequently, there will be many breaks throughout the day. As far as scheduling goes, you are at the mercy of the student school schedule. However, once you've received your assignments, it is expected that you are to attend meetings, complete paperwork, write progress notes, and be responsive outside of your scheduled hours. You provide your hours of availability and are assigned districts based on the same. Initially the scheduling seems flexible enough. The online platform is easy to navigate with increasing library of materials. Plenty of hours available to fill up your schedule.
