Teamwork is impeccable

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

There is a strong sense of unity in team work and supervisors value your well-being as well as the team health and integrity. There is a solid benefits package, and flexibility in scheduling.

Cons

You are constantly busy - it can feel overwhelming at times. You are essentially the middle man for every other team - psych, nursing, care management, supervisors, and other important entities like benefits, social security, the government, or PCP services outside of ones provided at GCB.

Good entry level

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

GCB is a great place for entry level experience (recent undergrad graduate). It gives such a variety of experience that can be used in so many different ways. - Assistance with further education with Social Work or counseling at a master’s level - working with a team closely - gaining relationships in the community - seeing growth/improvement with clients - lots of great mid-level supervisors who are all pretty involved still in direct client care - good mileage reimbursement - flexible schedule most days/weeks - on the job shadowing before going solo into the field

Cons

- pay first and foremost. Once you are out of that entry level timeframe and you complete a masters degree, GCB is not the place for you in regards to pay. You can have the same experience/degree and make significantly more money elsewhere. I understand the company is non-profit but, you must show value to your staff and what they bring to the table. - PTO and productivity…. Having to make up productivity from the days you are off work is absolutely ridiculous and just increases the chance of staff burnout which in turn increases staff turnover - communication from upper leadership. They would wait last minute to make decisions regarding weather - despite high level snow emergencies. When the agency experienced a cyber attack, there was very little communication. - accepting mediocre work from some staff just to make sure that there is a warm body in a position. This results in poor client care and some resentment between staff when it is seen the bare minimum being accepted - safety, clients do not have to do any type of safety measure before entering the building. Some clients have pretty extensive criminal history and having no type of safety measure before entering such as metal detectors just overall can be risky. - background checks/drug screening of staff.. it is pretty alarming that staff are expecting to drive clients around and provide direct mental health care but, no drug screening takes place during the hiring. There have been a worrisome number of staff fired due to drug use concerns.
