Understanding of mental health, but terrible work conditions.

Certified peer support specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

RI International is very understanding that mental health days are a thing. They are also understanding that some of their workers are in poor health and require many appointments. The environment is casual and relaxed.

Cons

Staff is paid $2 an hour under the industry standard. Also, the Restart department has been forced to work in conditions with bedbugs, roaches, and rat infestations. Travel reimbursement is under 50¢ a mile. It is not disclosed to Restart employees upon hire that sex offenders are accepted into the program, and a site with all female staff has been sent sex offenders twice. Training in self-defense is opt-in only.

Worst Management I've Had

Certified peer support specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interacting with clients is good, pay is decent, every day is different

Cons

Severe micromanagement, sexual harassment in the workplace, arrogant and unsupportive higher-ups, supervisors not hired from within and bark orders on work they themselves don't know how to do, almost zero training, money is always put above clients and staff safety, staff need to use personal phones for work calls to clients because management will not provide office phones, no clear workflow, and having clinicians operate beyond their legal licensure due to corporate refusing to pay for a fully-licensed clinician.
