Disappointing - Administrator Stars Behavioral Health Group Employee Review

Administrator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Now, that I look back at my time with this company, it is difficult for me find any pros. I always believed in this company and the leadership, I was deceived and was let go without warning, without a formal PIP or formal training. I trusted and put in so much work , time and energy, even on my days off and vacation without, I did not expect any special treatment nor recognition, because behavioral health has always been my passion.

Cons

Poor leadership, expansion without understanding the landscape. The company keeps and hires individuals that are not familiar with California Mental Health Law and expectations from DHCS nor the variations in how services are delivered in multiple counties. There is favoritism especially if you are Caucasian and their claim of inclusion and diversity is only on the surface. The pay for non executive or administrators does not meet the standards of living here in California, they promote individuals for no reason, and have so many titles and roles that it is difficult to catch up.

Pros

Fulfilling work and great coworkers

Cons

Lack of support from management, lack of acknowledgment, putting profits over people, low wages, unrealistic workloads, lack of accountability for managers and administration. The trainings they do provide are useless and they refuse to get us the trainings and resources that would actually be helpful.
