Community Resources For Justice Reviews

The Boston office has no idea what Community Strategies does, not since Bill Coughlin left. Bill is really who made CRJ what it was, and it's suffered as a company since he retired. He and Maria Alexson were the only higher ups who cared, and they're both retired now. CRJ uses CS' surplus to fund money losing pet projects that get them recognition. They promised pay increases to the managers and to others and then didn't follow through. CS is expanding at a rate that the company cannot sustain. They're opening programs as ones that already exist have crazy turnover and vacancies. Managers are not formally trained. There needs to be a specific training department, not just burdening people with already busy jobs to drop everything and train people. The training department needs to be available to come out for boosters or to answer follow-up questions, not just two weeks of information crammed at new staff that they'll never retain and isn't specific to their program. The CareTracker database that CS uses doesn't make the reports that we need. CS should have cancelled with them the minute they saw that CareTracker didn't deliver the reports that they promised. Some of the higher ups in the company take credit for other people's work and throw people under the bus. I don't feel like this company appreciates or even knows what any of us at CS do. We also hang on to defiant employees for way too long out of fear that they'll sue us for wrongful termination, even when people have been written up multiple times.

-Management takes advantage of their good employees -Make promises to employees about advancement but never deliver on them -Management uses employees as scapegoats when they get in trouble
