Pros

Flexible work hours, knowledgeable staff, amazing coworkers, mileage reimbursement and opportunity for productivity bonuses, good relationships with other local agencies. Working at Centerpoint Health/Talbert House allowed me to build lasting professional relationships and networks.

Cons

Since Centerpoint Health merged with Talbert House is has become more about growing the company than serving the clientele. Many of the policies and procedures would seem to make sense until they are implemented at the service level. Productivity is very unreasonable, to the point that most positions cannot truly be 40 hr a week positions when attempting to balance utilization, paperwork, and notes. Upper management does not take the time to ask employees at the service level for input about how the programs are working, nor the clients/ppl served. Employee's are grossly underpaid, especially for the size of the company. Extremely high and consistent employee turnover, further complicating the continuum of care that clients deserve.

Pros

Talbert House does great work for the community. Support for professional licences for clinical staff.

Cons

Talbert House often seems more concerned about its reputation than any clients, employees, or programs. Serious problems can be ignored or hushed up to avoid bad press. Getting new programs (and more money) is more important than running programs well. Executives micro-manage everything, and rules are applied differently to different programs and people. Supervisors and even directors are undermined and overruled by HR and executives every day. This leads to a culture where employees are rewarded for complaining to a VP until they get an exception. (Particularly when it comes to HR and finance.)

Pros

Great company; great people; great benefits; great for someone just starting out in the social service sector.

Cons

Pay somewhat lower than average. However, most likely the job is centrally located though; which saves on gas.
