Pros

The patients. Also, they don't mandate (force you to work surprise double-shifts), but the trade off is that the pay isn't great, and you're working for scumbags.

Cons

I would encourage you to look at the 1-star Google reviews for additional context. I worked there for 1 3/4 years, and all of these bad reviews do not at all seem like exaggerations to me. Much of it, I saw on a daily basis, to my great shame. I should have left much sooner, and reported them. Fortunately, it looks like some patient family members are considering reporting them to The Joint Commission (Government oversight for the Healthcare industry). The sense of professional integrity is severely lacking, they are consistently understaffed, the culture is one of the most toxic I've ever been in. If you are motivated to make a positive change you will be reprimanded for it, if not fired.

Pros

* Supportive leadership and collaborative environment prior to 2023 * Opportunities to gain licensure hours and grow clinical skills * Meaningful work when boundaries are respected and ethics are upheld * Initial team spirit fostered hope for long-term growth * 4-day work week was a major benefit * Clean, modern building and well-kept office spaces

Cons

* Post-2023 leadership changes triggered a major cultural decline * Favoritism, gossip, and cliques tolerated by peer supervisors * Clinicians pressured to compromise ethical standards * Caseloads ballooned to over 100 clients with minimal time for documentation * Remote work privileges granted without transparency or fairness * Retaliation toward those who raised valid concerns * Verbal harassment and bullying often overlooked by leadership * Former staff continue to report similar mistreatment * Outsourced security frequently created disruptions * Disorganized communication, vague policies, and inconsistent procedures * Bonus structure rewarded burnout—only ~$500 extra/month for carrying unsustainable loads (35+ clients/week) * Staff incentives felt insulting at times (e.g., grocery gift cards)
