Churn baby churn

Pros

- can see the immediate impact of your work due to size of the company - there's a lot of good people trying to do the right thing especially on the clinical side - if you don't like your manager don't worry they'll probably quit or be fired fast

Cons

- irresponsibly high churn of staff especially leadership - strategy isn't communicated (assuming there is one?) -absent exec team. Most staff, especially in the NY office, have no idea what the execs do especially the married ceo and head of strategy - ignored pulse surveys where the same issues are pointed at time and time again - no work life balance if you show any aptitude for solving problems. You will be cleaning up messes constantly

Pros

In your first few months with the company, you may earn a higher bonus than you will for the remainder of your time there, surpassing even the bonuses of colleagues in more senior positions.

Cons

High Turnover and Low Morale: The company faces significant turnover, with many outreach managers, executives, and other staff departing in a short timeframe. Those who remain often experience high stress and actively search for new opportunities, driven by unrealistic expectations and a toxic work environment. Toxic Leadership and Public Humiliation: Leadership creates a hostile culture marked by fear and degradation. Underperforming employees are frequently singled out, publicly humiliated, and threatened with termination, further undermining morale. Culture: On the outreach team, there’s a constant sense of job insecurity. As a startup, CH operates under the pressure of satisfying venture capitalists and demonstrating profitability, often prioritizing these goals over the well-being of employees. The focus appears to be on achieving financial success, potentially leading to a future sale, regardless of the impact on staff.

Incredible Mission, But Room for Improvement

Pros

All these other reviews are so extreme, but I really don’t know why. This is definitely a fast-paced environment with really high expectations, and there are plenty of things they get wrong. But there’s also more to like than hate. 1. I guarantee you will never work with smarter people than you will here. 2. No matter what job you have, you are genuinely helping at-risk kids. The company has incredible outcomes for their clients, and you get to be a part of helping them heal. If helping people motivates you, you’ll love it. 3. The company is growing, it seems financially stable, and you don’t have to spend every day worrying about getting laid off. 4. If you’re hard-working and know how to get stuff done, you’ll do well. 5. The leadership team seems to genuinely be listening. I feel like they’ve responded to our staff surveys and are working to make it better. Things don’t change overnight but at least it’s getting better.

Cons

1. PTO and work/life balance aren’t great, but the balance seems to be getting better for most people if you can set boundaries. 2. The company does a good job of sharing the wins and keeping us close to the mission, but could do a better job of showing the long term vision and how we’re going to get there. 3. Just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you get to be a jerk, and there’s a few smart jerks for sure. 4. You’ll be really sick of hearing the word “KPIs.” It’s good to set expectations but this feels like micromanagement. 5. The recruiting process could definitely have been more honest and transparent. I still would have taken the job, but at least I would have known what to expect. I definitely felt like I had to adjust my expectations after I started. 6. There’s a weird mix of banking people and healthcare people, and it feels like the banking people have more sway. 7. They’re not great at promoting from within, and raises were pretty low.
