Pros

Most of the non-leadership coworkers are down to earth and are in it for the right reasons. They don’t typically penny pinch on supplies and you will get food sometimes! Some of the offices are pretty nice.

Cons

Management is hit and miss. Some are pretty cocky for the lack of skills/experience they bring to the table. Upper management couldn’t care less about you or about the people you serve and they call all the shots. It’s ALL about profit, at the expense of employee and patient welfare. They will accept anyone to fill beds/spots which makes other clients and staff be placed in dangerous/unrealistic positions. Churn and burn with high acuity. Severely overworked (insane case load sizes although they advertise otherwise; travel therapists included), stressful (which is to somewhat be expected but I’m talking about preventable issues that are ignored), and underpaid (according to market standards and just paying someone with a masters degree). The entire onboarding process was a pretty wild experience and unnecessarily long. If you are hoping to help others while just making enough to survive like I was, unfortunately this isn’t the place. They will be sure to burn you out before you reach their 6 month threshold to get paid training. It’s been extremely disappointing, mostly due to their potential.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We really do appreciate the thought and care behind your feedback. We know this work can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly demanding, and we’re always looking for ways to make sure our teams feel supported. Just to add a little context around caseloads: in similar behavioral health settings, therapists often carry between 20 and 40 clients per week. At Sandstone Care, our therapists hold a caseload of up to 12 clients. We’ve structured it this way intentionally so clinicians can focus on deeper therapeutic work and maintain a better balance between quality care and sustainability. We know things like communication and workload balance can always improve, and we’re continuing to strengthen collaboration and feedback loops across teams. If you have specific ideas that you think we should consider, please reach out to your supervisor. We appreciate your contributions and your commitment to client care, it truly makes a difference.

Pros

For some roles there is some flexibility and there are a few genuine and good people.

Cons

Based on my experience, I would not recommend this organization as a place of employment. Some of the concerns noted in other reviews were consistent with what I observed during my time there. In my role, expectations often felt misaligned with the actual scope of responsibilities, and there was a recurring pattern of increased workload without an adjustment in compensation. The starting compensation range for many roles also appeared low relative to the level of responsibility required. The individuals working within the organization are highly educated and qualified professionals, and my experience suggests a need for more sustainable compensation structures in relation to workload and expectations. At times, there also appeared to be a limited understanding of the demands placed on clinicians and site leadership, from the perspective of leadership and HR, which impacted clarity around roles and workload distribution. Additionally, the organization would benefit from improved structure, coordination, and more consistent internal processes, as there are inefficiencies related to how the organization operates. Overall, my experience reflects ongoing structural and operational challenges that made the work environment difficult.
