Although the flexibility and working from anywhere is awesome, working as a remote School Counselor might be risky with this company. 

Since you are an Independent Contractor, you really are on your own if something happens where you might need support. This is why TE requires you to buy your own Professional Liability Insurance prior to your assignments. You are on your own. I can’t stress this enough. 

 All it takes is one parent or student to say something that could potentially ruin your reputation-and this can happen SO easily in the virtual world and in this kind of murky dynamic where you are contracted out by yourself without any real back up. 

If you do work with TE, I would refrain at all costs to text directly with parents and never students. Do everything over email. Even with Google voice, it’s still risky. 

Only email of course makes it very difficult to confirm and schedule sessions quickly but once you open the phone/texting  can of worms, it’s extremely hard to back up. Especially with texting- A lot can be taken out of context by a parent or student and lead to all sorts of messes. 

TinyEye offered no specific guidelines on best ways to communicate with student and families. So unfortunately I had to learn the hard way. I really think they should have serious training in this area. 

Also TinyEYE doesn’t seem to understand fully the professional role of School Counselors. 

We are not supposed to do long term therapy. We do short term sessions( 6-8 max) and then refer them on.  

One on one long term therapy is not in our scope of practice and yet the majority of my assignments  were mainly just that. Pretty soon I was being referred to as the student’s Therapist. 

Long term counseling falls into the lap of School Social Workers or another  licensed mental health professional. This is often a misunderstood role in general and the added complication of doing this service  in a virtual environment (without someone having your back)  is highly risky IMHO. 

I was also creating and writing IEP goals for students with disabilities. This is also not something School Counselors are supposed to do. We can be part of the meeting or part of consultation  but the actual creation of the goal to the Special Ed teacher or School Psychologist. 

All that being said, the TinyEYE people themselves are super nice and friendly! The design of how it’s all done, however needs serious rethinking. 

I have worked for a few companies in my 25+ years of working and most of my previous jobs were long term (5+ years up to 18 years).  TinyEYE is by far the best company I have worked for.  They care about their employees, they have open communication and the management team are effective and respectful.  It really is all about the services we provide to enrich children's lives.  That is the ultimate goal so every decision is centered around that goal.  It busy but rewarding work and you are left feeling like you have accomplished something positive and worthwhile at the end of the day.  Initial training was held at a pace that is helpful for the new employee, there is no pressure to learn quickly and dive right in without proper support.  It's truly a team atmosphere.  

The onboarding and placement process at TinyEYE is great and very supportive. The corporate team is super upbeat and very helpful. The company cares about the therapists and wants to make improvements. Considered an independent contractor so there aren't any benefits - if you don't work, you don't get paid. The platform used for therapy has great organization and is easy to use. There have been technical issues as it is a new platform but the team is constantly working to fix issues and improve the platform. 

TinyEye has their own virtual platform. This means all of their "managers" have access to your entire work world. TinyEye "mentors" can observe or monitor all of your therapy sessions without you knowing. The TinyEye staff will review the therapist's daily notes often and overall does a fine job micromanaging and trying to squeeze the most out of their therapists. Just beware. Do not ever work there, or let your friends work for them. The company is trying to make as much financial gain as possible, at the expense of staff. 

Canadian-based company which has gone downhill over the past two years due to constant problems with the therapy platform and poorly written contracts with customers.  Pay is abysmal and micro-management rules.  Preferential treatment for those that keep reinforcing the idea that everything is "wonderful".  Unwilling to admit their failures and work on fixing them.

TinyEYE is a wonderful company to work for! The culture is extremely healthy and you feel welcomed from the very first day. The training is very detailed and you are given the time and support needed to ensure you are set up for success. Company Leaders are very passionate about making a difference in kids lives and that passion is exemplified in every area. 

The pay is terrible, but it offers work from home and flexible work hours. There are no benefits and the expectation is that you do at least some unpaid work, meaning that the compensation you get is less than what it first appears. If you don't care about money and like to work from home under a flexible schedule than this is a great fit.

Positive work environment with a great team culture. This is a fast growing company with awesome potential to grow a thriving career within it.
Great leadership and communication. All employees are treated as an integral part of the team. 

TinyEYE is a great place to work at. They are very professional and their company goal and mission are great. You will learn a lot from the your colleague and will develop your communication skills.

Pros: working from home, tech department is very supportive

Cons: low pay for the position, especially if you leave and then return to work.  Instead of hiring you at the current rate they try to low ball you and pay you at a previously contracted rate.  It's as if their contract never expires.
