Business outlook

Pros

The Directors are rarely micromanaged, but have no decision making power or authority.

Cons

Run like a business, not a behavioral health non-profit. Employees are underpaid, overworked, not listened to, and treated as expendable. Rampant burnout resulting in rapid turnover. Inability to fill open positions due to low wages, bad benefits package, and stressful work culture.
