Toxic management and lack of support for employees - Recensione dipendente - Licensed Professional Counselor Associate presso Stronger Oregon

Great work-life balance and growth opportunities. Clinicians are at the heart of systems and configurations. Large systemic changes in healthcare are being dynamically and transparently responded to by leadership

Much of the connection with the team occurs remotely which may not be everyone's preference.

They offered decent paid time off and benefits which was nice as an associate counselor.

Their favorite saying is "we're building the plane as we fly it" which is a very good representation of my experience at this company. They are expanding faster than they can sustain. Josh the CEO seems more focused on growth than quality of care. The company is accepting contracts with school districts in the Portland area without the staff to fulfill those contracts. When they do acquire the staff, they seem quick to let them go. I know personally of at least 3 different people who were fired within their first few months of employment, unexpectedly and without being able to do closure sessions with their clients. This company is so disorganized it is unreal. There are a few leadership staff members who are doing the best they can to hold it together, but there is very little structural organization. I was left playing PR at my school sites trying to answer for the disorganization of the company many times. They spread one counselor across many schools trying to fill their contracts, rather than dedicate one counselor per 1-2 school sites. They often had more than one counselor per school site one day each per week which made very little sense and frustrated school staff, as well as employees. Not a lot of training and onboarding was very disorganized.
