I Give Up! Lost Cause

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Noble mission. History of making a real difference for people, kids, families with substance abuse problems under lead of the org’s founder, now retired. Good health benefits for a non-profit (full-time workers only). Facilities are beautiful and safe. Direct supervisor is great and the work important.

Cons

The organization is being misled at the top. Founding CEO retired several years ago. New CEO and selected exec team are major disappointments. This once vibrant program has lost its high level of character, sophistication and compassion. A mass exit of longtime experienced personnel has drained the programs of heart and soul, and resulted in overburdened, unhappy staff. Leaders seem insincere, overly concerned with personal recognition, reject ideas that threaten (staff suggestions are resisted until the same good ideas are repurposed and presented as coming from favored managers). Long-time execs and directors work hard to protect the mission and support staff, but it’s a battle, felt at all levels. This is not how to “build healthy lives” for anyone. It’s very sad, most of all for the clients the org serves.

Good Old Fashion Company

Pros

Outreach is a great place to work if you are a new social worker or counselor and want to learn from a great company. It is a great place to get your feet wet.

Cons

Internet/Computers were slow and made it hard to get your work done. A lot of deadlines to meet. Old fashion attire policy They are very compliance focused which sometimes makes it difficult to spend as much time with the clients as you would like.

Overworked, Undervalued, and Unethical Work Environment

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

the only good thing about being here ever was the patients.

Cons

Severely Understaffed: I was regularly forced to take on responsibilities far outside my role, including cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry, because there simply weren’t enough staff members. One staff member would often be left to manage a full house alone for entire shifts, multiple times, with no support. No Breaks & Poor Treatment: Breaks were non-existent despite being overworked, and the superiors treated staff as if we were expendable. The environment felt less like a workplace and more like being a "slave" to the system. Toxic Work Culture: Staff members were divided and often working against each other, creating a hostile atmosphere. Night staff routinely slept through their shifts, further increasing the burden on others. Neglectful & Unsafe Conditions: The organization regularly accepted individuals who needed a higher level of care than what could be provided. The food was often expired, improperly stored (left on the floor), and still served to residents. Mental & Emotional Toll: The stress was so intense that I would cry at the thought of going in for my shift, even on my days off.
