Hope House could be better. - Associate Counselor Hope House Employee Review

Great Pay, benefits, co-workers. Great work environment

scheduling, paper charting, very little training

There are some very talented and compassionate staff within the agency. They are taken for granted and not compensated for their true worth, but you can find some very dedicated professionals among the front line staff and middle management.

The pay is not comparable to other agencies in the area... or even most restaurants if you're coming in at entry level. Upper administration is good at expressing their availability to staff, but not good at genuinely supporting staff when there are concerns. Upper administration is running the agency based on numbers and money, and they're not doing a great job at that. When you do honest and compassionate work of good quality, the bottom line will show that. Appropriateness for clients admissions is often overlooked for the sake of census numbers. Not professional in that they have inappropriate discussions about staff in front of others that shouldn't be privy to sensitive information. Its like mean girls on an adult level- but not just with girls. There is very little work/life balance. Expectations of staff are not realistic. It's toxic. Unhealthy. Your good staff will and have burned out.
