Pros

NUWAY is a fantastic place to work. The managers are supportive of staffs needs and are always checking in to see what they can do to help. The work/life balance is amazing and they compensate fairly.

Cons

There are always going to be some cons of working in SUD treatment. The biggest one for NUWAY is that they pretty much take everyone regardless of their appropriateness for the level of care.

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
