Vantaggi
- Crisis Text Line generally hires motivated individuals that are extremely talented throughout the org (with the exception of the new hiring practices for supervisors) - Most can work remotely - Champagne when you kiss the CEO's bum - A lot of paid holidays
Svantaggi
- Inconsistent rules/regulations/policies: Exec team meets and decides how to govern the organization. The emails get sent out once per week with general policy changes and implementation. These change weekly as well as daily depending on which exec team member you talk to. - COO: very manipulative. Causes fires between employees for her own entertainment as well as to push her own agenda. CEO: Very moody and unpredictable. Has no idea what she wants and will literally scream at her employees in front of everyone in order to get her way/break people down. - No HR: Org refuses to have an HR department. CEO and others will be extremely inappropriate with employees. For example: asking a male employee that is out of state to keep talking during a meeting so she can drool over his attractive face and voice. - Supervisors: Originally had to have MSW or similar for the ethics of the position (mandated reporting, calling in for DTO/DTS). Most qualified supervisors have left due to new hiring practices stating anyone can be a supervisor. This puts our texters at risk. - Data: Most of the data is not accurate or so skewed from the truth. None of what is published can be replicated. Most of the issue tagging is done by volunteers and is not accurate to the population the org serves. Diagnosing a texter when they are experiencing a crisis by an untrained professional is unacceptable. - CEO consistently asks for volunteers and her favorite employees to write positive reviews on this site to offset the truthful reviews. Seems pretty unethical.
