Vantaggi
Working remotely was nice. But no other pros.
Svantaggi
I worked at this company for a period of time and unfortunately, it was one of the most toxic work environments I have ever experienced in my 15 year career. Management showed favoritism, racism, ageism, sexism, and discrimination towards individuals with disabilities. Despite being a mental health agency, they do not care at all for their employees well-being or mental health. The turnover at this company is mind-blowing. With people being hired and quitting voluntarily in a short period of time, considering the company is a small agency, is definitely telling. The CEO was unable to effectively communicate and control her emotions during meetings, often resulting in yelling and screaming at staff as a regular part of the meeting culture. The CEO often said “I don’t care if you like me, no one likes me!”. No kidding, I wonder why. This type of behavior is unacceptable and creates a hostile work environment. The management team was often counseled on illegal interview questions and refused to adjust or omit them from their practice. Comments to applicants during the interview process included "We need a young person like you" and "As a woman of color you can add a lot to our agency..". They refused to hire someone who had a physical disability but had the professional qualifications simply for her inability to walk without assistance (of course they didn’t tell her that). They ask about things like children and personal relationships in the interview process and then during internal conversations, they will use them as negative things to not hire you. Such as “Well she has children, I don’t know if she will be able to do XYZ…” You’ve got to be kidding me!!! The entire management team did not have an understanding of how technology works… the fact that they couldn’t effectively use email or any other form of communication outside of a phone call was a huge red flag. They also don’t understand anything about social media, professional networking etc. and or marketing online in today’s society. They are stuck in 1996… Goals were a consistent moving target for goals and objectives to be met. All goals were met and exceeded- but when I sent reports to the CEO (my direct supervisor) and received zero comments or positive responses to these accomplishments. Not even an acknowledgement of them. Only thing said was that we need to do more. Their benefits are overpriced and often under delivered, as most of my standard doctor visits and medication was not covered. They say that they have an EAP program but it was a joke - it took nearly a month for a response from this system. The CEO said during a meeting that she hated to provide insurance to staff because it’s a waste. They also don’t offer any type of COBRA coverage and terminate your benefits prior to the end of the month of your separation… so just be prepared. They require that you pay for your own background screening - and they’re not even effective or knowledgeable on the process! I was fingerprinted THREE times and paid over $150 in fees for this process out of my pocket and was never reimbursed. I also had to pay for HIPAA training out of my pocket and was never repaid. The salary is under market value for nearly every role! They are more concerned about making money vs. paying a suitable salary for their staff. The environment is toxic and micromanagement is insane. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a positive and supportive workplace. If you are a licensed individual, I would not risk my license by working in a place like this!!!!
