Westside has a robust system for meritocratically awarding therapists who go above and beyond in supporting families and meeting patient need. If a therapist sees a full caseload of kids, keeps parents happy, is a strong team leader, and is flexible to patient demand they benefit substantially.

Westside offers employees 5 Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance plans. Based on employees’ requests, Westside offers 2 PPO Plans (a low cost and a high cost), a HMO plan, and 2 HSA plans. Westside also provides cost-sharing for health insurance.

Westside matches an employee’s retirement contributions up to 3% of their annual salary. Our financial advisor meets with employees to recommend appropriate investment options for retirement.

Full time employees can accrue 3 weeks of PTO.
Unused PTO is paid out at the end of every calendar year.
Courses are paid as days-worked and do not count towards PTO
Employees can accumulate approved “Flex PTO” days by working beyond their set schedule hours

Westside follows a simple rule for continuing education: When it adds value or expertise to Westside, it is a worthy investment. Clinic Supervisors approve requests based on course relevancy and employee performance. Westside pays for courses in-full once they have been approved.
In-service trainings are regularly hosted at Westside. Many times employees self-organize these events for other staff members who are interested.

Westside sponsors regular social events for its staff. Events have included renting Chicago Blackhawks Game Skyboxes, Knockerball, Cubs rooftop games, gatherings at Cooper Hawk, and laser tag. Events typically occur on early-release Fridays.
Every team in all offices can treat themselves each quarter to dinner, drinks, etc. as a way to build camaraderie, and Westside will pick up the bill.

All employees conduct monthly 1-on-1 meetings with their managers. These meetings produce some of Westside’s best new ideas and equip our company to proactively address employee concerns. 1-on-1’s also help contribute to the cohesiveness of the Westside Family, making all employees feel that they have a mentor to confide in and a voice that can be heard.
Westside has more formal checkpoints with employees in June and December. In June, employees receive earnest feedback from their managers on what they can improve upon for the second half of the year. In December, employees receive their final year-end performance ratings. These conversations are intended to provide the constructive feedback that is the primary vehicle behind genuine professional improvement.
