Pros

Supportive clinical supervisors;best coworkers

Cons

Grossly incompetent Senior management; Extremely top heavy; A culture of disrespect, abuse that devalues and demeans CD Clinicians and by proxy SUD clients in their care; where poor management decisions and revenue shortfalls are simply solved by increasing the amount of money and clients CD Clinicians are required to bring in every month

Thank you for your review and for recognizing our great supervisors and coworkers. We do strive to be good stewards of the funds we receive in order to provide quality services to consumers and increase wages and benefits for staff. We also have a lean infrastructure because we prioritize direct service jobs first.

Pros

Some friendly staff & Benefits. Literally it..

Cons

Poor training as far as admin. position goes. Very little chance of advancement. Very little chance of pay increase. A lot of drama/gossip between staff members; including in most major sites; seems upper management is more preoccupied with money coming in than their staff which leads to high turn over rate. -(Which they don't seem to give two damns about) Hard to accrue PTO; most holidays falls on a Monday or during the work week so you're forced to use it up. No paid holidays. AT ALL. High turn over rate in all positions; front desk/admin, floaters & therapists. But they just let go about 12-15 people within this month due to "a reducing number of clients".

Pros

The reason I stayed at Lifeworks for so long was the amazing group of people (clinicians and admin staff alike) that I got to work with. I always felt supported by my immediate supervisors, but never by upper management.

Cons

he pay for clinicians is very low, especially considering the population you work with. The clinical work was intensely stressful at times and it sucked to feel like no one really cared about what you were doing. The organization itself has a lot of issues that were never worked on during the 6 years I was an employee.
