NA - Substance Abuse Counselor Behavioral Health Group Employee Review

Amazing team full of talented individuals serving a meaningful purpose.

No significant cons to mention.

no sundays, nights, or holidays; diverse clientele with opportunities to connect with folks seen daily; inclement weather closures; structured work (few surprises); consistent schedule; supportive and knowledgable nursing supervisor; front desk staff field calls initially, only send to med staff if needed; ample supplies for medical needs/functions

two-faced middle management; expectations to cover distant clinics with little notice due to understaffing/ high turnover; toxic/ catty elements, depending on clinic location, that go unaddressed by mgmt; getting new patients enrolled is more important than taking care of existing patients; little or no support on saturdays; no benefits for part-time employees; potential bonuses based entirely on retention/numbers for med staff; corporate far removed and lacking empathy for day-to-day of frontline staff
