Crisis Services reviews

Subject to mandatory overtime at any second. Required to complete up to 120 additional on call shifts per month. Management punishes those who speak up about concerns within the department. Days off don’t ever feel like a day off, due to additional texts asking you to come in because of short staffing. HIGH turn over, no one ever stays. A lot of negativity in the office. Hard work goes unnoticed and under appreciated. Missing out on countless events, personal life obligations due to being unable to take the time off you’re given because of short staffing. Responsible for sharing cases with all staff in the office. This also means sharing the backlash for mistakes you did not make. Management is often passive aggressive within their style. Management often leaves for the day and team is left to figure it out for themselves when short staffed. Often unable to take lunches or breaks due to how hectic the job can get. Location of the office in an unsafe area. Population you work with often times dangerous and aggressive.

Management- Everything is a problem but miraculously it never is a result of the management style of supervisors and directors. For one program in particular, supervisions and staff meetings seem to be vehicles to blame staff for the inabilities and shortcomings of the department of the agency. Seeking assistance about an issue or raising concern about personal well-being related to the work environment leads to interrogation of if the staff is wanting to quit or if it is because of other employees. Supervisors and management are difficult to trust and promote an us vs. them mentality. On-Call- If you are hired as part time staff, be prepared to work full time hours. If you are hired as full-time staff, be prepared to say goodbye to your family, friends, social life, and regular sleep schedule. There is no work life balance, there is just work. If you voice these concerns to supervisors, you will be met with a shrug and told that "you are the professional here" implying that this is your problem and your job to find a solution.
