Pros

Fantastic culture for employees and clients alike, above average pay for licensed staff, growing and expanding to serve the needs of Minnesota, opportunities for professional development, paid staff trainings that are useful, better than average health and wellness benefits, PTO for full time employees, S&SL for part-time employees, opportunities for career advancement.

Cons

Outpatient and residential are very different; would love to see more collaborative work between the teams.

Pros

The clients and honest employees (counselors, techs, and PRSS)

Cons

The PR spin Nuway created about the Kare 11 exposé was not accurate. Leadership from the VP level and up all knew what they were doing was unethical, and many employees voiced serious concerns, yet they continued directing outpatient counselors to bill in what they referred to as a "gray area" so the upper leadership circle could continue taking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary and bonuses, and enjoying luxury company cars and travel on the company dime. If all of that weren't bad enough, the culture was toxic and felt like real life Survivor, complete with cutthroat drama and backstabbing. Clients and honest employees are the ones who lost in this equation. Other employers should be wary of hiring leaders that were involved with Nuway the past few years because all of the good leaders left when their ethical concerns were dismissed. Leaders who stayed are complicit. Prospective employees should run for their lives and avoid this ticking time bomb. This is a red flag you don't want on your résumé. The leaders who created the toxic culture should be named: CEO David Vennes CFO Tom Meier CCO Kenneth Roberts CCRO Monique Bourgeois CSO John Miller VP Angela Hansen VP Lindsay Gephart VP Shelley Skarda VP Ryan Clukey VP Heather Anderson VP Amy Dellwo
