Vantaggi

None. I was a fool thinking I could make a career at MHCD.

Svantaggi

Tyrannical Management, enables clients with little actual treatment, unsafe workplace, cronyism and corruption. I was an employee there for three years and my overall experience was negative. Middle management is corrupt and they are not afraid to retaliate against their employees. If you bring new ideas to the table and or point out major issues, you risk immediate termination. I feel this can be reviewed by their high turnover rate and countless debates with Union Members. In fact, the Union filled a charge against MHCD with the National Labor Union's Board for illegal behavior for refusing to bargain appropriately during salary negotiations. Likewise, Mental Health Center of Denver spent the most on executives, and the least on non-executive employees, percentage-wise in comparison to nearby agencies this year. To Upper management, I would like to say I feel that most of you are petty, narcissistic, power hungry, fools who are so apathetic and detached from what you actually do, I pity you. For the longer term employees who like this company, I just want to thank you. You do a lot for those who need mental health resources in the community and thank you for the difference you make. However, this company was not for me and I am actually leaving the Healthcare field after my time here.Take care.

Vantaggi

They really encourage furthering education and provide amazing free trainings. I became certified in BCBT, Motivational Interviewing, and many others all at no cost to me, and I got paid to do it. I loved my team, I am still friends with many people I worked with, we also had team bonding days where we would do things like go to botanix garden or zoo. Community was great, and pay was pretty good for someone coming right out of college and no experience in mental health field. I also appreciated having my own schedule and with my supervisor, it felt I had some autonomy over my work. Every other Friday off. Great PTO.

Svantaggi

Working with high risk clients was very very draining. Personally, I got burnt out and that's why I left, I have heard alot has changed too since I have left, and not for the better. I didn't feel very protected against clients, it was difficult for me to establish boundaries on my own and it sometimes felt like I needed to just accept terrible treatment from them (Case managers would get threatening voicemails and text messages). Burnout is so high.
