Toxic culture with pressure to falsify billing - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Community Research Foundation

As CRF is a non profit somethings CRF has to abide by the contracts of the county. CRF offers amazing benefits and the opportunity to learn from an amazing group of people.

It's tough but rewarding work.

Mission-Driven Work: If you are passionate about working with vulnerable populations and individuals with Serious Mental Illness (SMI), the clinical experience here is excellent. Supportive Culture: The coworkers are friendly, and the organization’s overarching mission remains genuinely patient-centric.

Stagnant Compensation: The pay is significantly below industry standards, trailing the market average by roughly 15% to 30%. Flawed Pay Structure: Management pays the same hourly rate to both Full-Time and PRN nurses. This is highly unusual and effectively penalizes PRN staff who do not receive the benefits package afforded to full-time employees. Lack of Representation & Growth: There is no clear path for upward mobility for RNs. Furthermore, the Board and Executive leadership are composed entirely of administrators and clinicians, with zero RN or MD representation at the executive level (with exception of the DoN) Ethical Concerns regarding Billing: There is a heavy emphasis on "billing" clients a minimum amount per shift. This requirement exists regardless of whether the billing is clinically necessary, creating a high-pressure environment that arguably fosters insurance fraud. Failure to meet these arbitrary billing quotas results in disciplinary action, including write-ups and Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs).
