VocoVision

I worked as an independent contractor for VocoVision for part of the 23-24 school year.  The first assignment they placed me in had --unfortunately-- a hostile work environment, primarily from one teacher I had to interact with every time I was working (remotely).  After a few months, I felt I had no choice but to resign as no one was addressing the issues with this teacher. even though the onsite program specialist and my recruiter were well aware as I forwarded emails I had been receiving.  VocoVision then placed me almost immediately in another remote assignment w hich they knew had serious speech staffing issues:. Coverage had been poor and the previous speech therapist had quit.
Even though they knew I had come from a difficult situation, they placed me in this troubling assignment without explaining the situation.  There were many issues at this site due to administration problems which VocoVision did nothing about as they obviously were there to support their client--not the therapist.  I felt again that I could not remain and gave my two weeks notice and resigned.  VocoVision informed me I was "red flagged" because I left two assignments.  I find now, this school year, I am unable to be hired by VocoVision and any of their subsidiaries or affiliated companies.

I have been with the company for 3 years now. There’s pros and cons.
Pro: guaranteed hours for direct and indirect (you still need to work directly with districts to explain if an IEP meeting goes over your time that you will bill). I can’t take away my work hours to add an IEP meeting (I’ve had to explain that to each school).  I have a great recruiter. She is supportive when needed. Some things become out of her hands and into mine though. Most of the assessments are on their portal.
Cons: You continually need to ask for a rate that you deserve EACH year for EACH new contract. Each year for the last 3 years I have received a higher rate. Also, please read your contract. It changed. 
Vocovision has to understand that we are placed in schools that SLPs do NOT want to work at in person. We should be paid accordingly for sometimes stressful placements. Also, no paid time off, holidays, 401k. You also are responsible for the protocols which doesn’t make sense. I always check during the interview with my school they will mail and ship to me.  They also do not have a cap for the amount of students you can see. They pretty much pass it on to your to figure out. That is stressful. This is a job where you need to be able to stand up for yourself. Please make sure you negotiate your rate. It helps all of us SLPs receive a rate that is appropriate and fair. 



Job/Position is straight forward...you are a recruiter. You work both angles of the recruiter position meaning you find the person needing the job and you find the job needing to be filled. Sounds good for your headcount being a major metric you are expecting/expected to get, but 9/10 of the time you will split this headcount (your 1 = .5 toward your set goal) with a co-worker in or in another departmentwho has the other half of your job fulfillment (one will have the open position you need or has the person needing the job you have found).

The main thing to be aware of is how you are perceived (liked) by your superior,your assigned mentor, co-workers, etc. as that seems to carry more weight than almost attaining your headcount. It's apparent when the gossip is flowing from cubicle to cubicle almost instantly after the ex-employee has left the floor.

Not saying this only happens here (of course not) but very rich and prevalent. If you are not liked in some way or one aspect is found unfavorable of yourself be ahead of the game and listen to your gut telling you it's time to act on that other position you have lined up or get started lining it up cause the door leading outside is only a few feet away and slightly out
of the realm of you being able to change the thing that got you the position during the interview...yourself.

Working at VocoVision was a mixed experience. On the positive side, my recruiter was exceptionally supportive, helpful, and genuinely nice throughout my time there. However, the company itself proved problematic in several ways.

The pay negotiation was difficult from the start - they initially offered $45/hour but I had to advocate strongly to get $50/hour, which is still below market rate. Despite being a reliable contractor who submitted timecards punctually and was always available for billing questions (which were rare since I never caused issues), VocoVision’s treatment deteriorated when I resigned due to unrealistic client demands.

Most concerning was their refusal to pay my final two invoices after resignation. I had to fight for payment and only received one of the two invoices owed. To this day, they still haven’t paid the final invoice, essentially stealing my earned wages. This unprofessional behavior regarding contractor payments is unacceptable.


I really enjoyed my position this school year as a virtual SLP. My recruiter and the other staff advocated for me with the school in terms of having a dedicated facilitator, and toward the end of the school year my recruiter helped with renewing the contract, including a good pay raise. As my caseload grew, they were ready to advocate for another part time position to lighten my load. My assignment was mostly enjoyable because I had great people on the ground at the school I was serving. Any time I had questions, I got a quick response from VocoVision.

There are so many great teletherapy companies out there that will take what you do seriously. It’s desperate times during Covid but this is such a waste of a company I’m shocked they even have contracts.  Their recruiters are a joke they make you go through nonsense paperwork gathering your private information and never get back to you about jobs. I had a recruiter who would say there was a lead and she’ll check back in but when you do check in she said the job was gone. She also made you do a computer check on how it runs but that’s how they steal information from you. Such a waste of time, don’t give them your information they probably sell it anyway. 

A typical day of work is 6-8 hours a day but no more than 37.5 a week. The hardest part of the job is getting answers quickly from supervisors from the district I am contracted for. The best bast of the job is the flexibility and balance between work and personal life. I believe I have learned and enhanced my skills in this job on many platforms. Company could look into increasing benefits or pay to compete with other companies out there.  My recruiter does check on me periodically and that is appreciated especially during my first couple of months. 

Working as an OT with VocoVision has been a great experience. The flexibility they offer has made it easy to maintain a healthy work-life balance while still providing quality services to students. Their scheduling options and remote setup are very convenient, especially for therapists who value autonomy and organization.
One of the standout aspects of VocoVision is the support from the team. Communication is consistent, and whenever questions or issues come up, there is always someone available to help. The onboarding process was smooth, and the clinical and technical support have been reliable throughout my time working with them.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Paid weekly, work from home  were about the only good things working for this company

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Terrible support and contact. No health benefits. 1099 contract. The promise of summer work and then crickets.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and alone. Very difficult to contact recruiter when you  need assistance .

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Taught online. It was pretty much a typical school day. The only difference was that I was at home instead of an actual classroom.

I currently work for Vocovision as a Department Manager & Senior Account Executive and I can honestly say it's the best job I've ever had. Our work is so rewarding because we are reaching students who may not otherwise get services and also allowing clinicians the flexibility to continue doing what they love while working from home. My internal team makes me smile and proud every day, and I have a great relationship with my clients & candidates. Highly recommend Vocovision for an internal account executive role OR if you are a special education professional wanting to work from home!
