Pros

There are very few "pros", however, there are a lot of really decent and caring people who work for this company. Developing caring helping relationships with clients can be very rewarding.

Cons

The working environment is sub-par and there is a critical lack of support for employees. Financial cut backs and lack of funding have made the after school "Phoenix program" unable to function according to appropriate standards. The building is in poor condition, supplies are low to minimal and clients are allowed to be aggressive because there are not enough staff to maintain control and little disciplinary action that can be taken. When paper work has gotten behind employees have been asked to write progress notes and medicaid paperwork for clients that they did not work with weeks or even months earlier. I would never recommend anyone to work here or send their children her. Due to the environment the children most often become worse rather than better. I would never send my children to a place like this and I think that my associates would agree that this is a terrible place to work.

Strategic Therapy Associates Response
10y
Thank you for you review, and thank you for over 3 years of dedication to our agency and the community! Your dates of employment indicate that you were with us during the very challenging days of industry-wide, regulatory change for all providers in the Commonwealth of VA. As we can all agree, change most often takes time and can be uncomfortable for everyone. We've made made adjustments and continue to make a difference in the lives of children and families. We look forward to our next 20 years helping to better our community by strengthening families. Again, thank you so very much for the time you invested with the agency! I'm sure many clients were positively impacted by your work! We wish you much success in your future endeavors.

Pros

Strategic does meaningful work keeping families together and helping clients achieve self-sufficiency. It is good to be a part of the mission. The Agency responds to feedback and strives to make improvements. The work environment is positive and comfortable. My manager is fair and supportive.

Cons

In a smaller agency like Strategic, sometimes you wear a lot of different hats at once. I guess that can also be a pro in the sense that you learn how to do a variety of things making you a more well rounded professional.
