Pros

The administrative team and the counselors are wonderful and really want to do their best for the community. The staff has a lot of passion for mental health and wanting to make change in the company.

Cons

If you are looking to be worked incredibly hard for little compensation and practically no benefits (no PTO, outrageous costing health insurance, non-matched 401K, etc.), this is the job for you. Foundations does not care about their employees, they do not run an ethical company, and the CEO is one of the worst I have personally met. Between unethical counseling violations (charging $200 for 45 minutes, no insurance, seeing clients out of state without appropriate licensing or resources, and a focus on sales over mental health), lack of support for staff and clients, and a CEO who genuinely only cares about making more money, Foundations will burn you out and cast you aside. I worked here for four years (outlasting everyone on the team when I was hired), saw extreme amounts of turnover (averaging one employee lost every 10 days across my four years), and I would not recommend this place to anyone. Upper management makes empty promises about how they are going to improve, but never actually does anything productive. When staff leaves, their responsibilities are unreasonably split among other staff rather than Foundations hiring replacements. Don't waste your time with Foundations Counseling and Chris Berger. You will be treated as less than human, you will not be compensated fairly, and you will be burned out. You can find a better job for a more ethical company that pays better and gives much better benefits then you will ever receive working here.
