Pros

I can't think of any at this time

Cons

Doesn't matter if you have 10 years or 1 month of experience. You WILL be paid the same flat rate of 55K/yr. which is somewhat insulting. They advertise salaries that are not straight salary. No, it includes impossible to meet metrics based on client performance, daily census and constantly moving goal posts. Nuway also was offering $25 Gift Cards if employees would post 5 star reviews on Indeed, etc. so that the more honest reviews are diluted out with ones that are paid shills. You do not have job security, in the lower census periods staff can be laid off or dropped in FTE hours. For a non-profit, this agency works more like the For-Profit treatment centers that focus on quantity, not quality.

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
