Profit over patient care

Pros

Friendly staff and team leads

Cons

This business is only focused on profit. They “care” about their consumers to the extent they care about a meal ticket. Rich Johnson and his executive team take credit for everything that happens there, giving themselves awards every year. They never recognize the staff who actually do all the work. It took years of fighting with management to get a policy for annual pay raises. Psych and behavioral doesn’t care about staff retention. They think staff can work there a couple years to get experience then move on. Frequently changing therapist is detrimental for people’s mental health. The insurance is awful and expensive. There are no other benefits for anyone other than executives. All the money of this business is funneled to the top.

Thank you for your response. We are definitely not solely focused on profit. We need to be good stewards of the money we get because it is not a lot. I don't understand your comment about taking all the credit and getting awards. If you have any specifics to back that comment up I would love to hear them. Thank you

Pros

Flexible schedule. Lots of Locations to work.

Cons

The first 2-3 layers of management are very competent and effective. Their hands are always tied because of the misguided and wasteful mandates coming down from regional and state levels. This place has so be try much potential, but all of that is squandered by this backwards-thinking old guard. Besides a few cavalier/strong managers, everyone is terrified of the person above them. Profit is their primary motivation, which makes perfect sense, but it is truly their only motivation. If they focused on providing great client support, the profits would increase at an even more exponential rate. So much time wasted on double/triple busy work type tasks. The pay is abysmal, and they cycle through staff quickly. News flash: pay more, and you’ll actually cut costs by retaining people. I don’t know the owner, so I can’t give an opinion. He strikes me as being open to better ideas, but he is surrounded and insulated by a bunch of weak “yes” men and “yes” women that haven’t presented a new idea in 15 years. Also, they tend to hire a certain level of attractiveness at their state office lol. Weird and cult like.

Thank you for your post and thoughtful response. I can assure you we are not motivated by profit. We are reimbursed by Medicaid which is the payor of last resort and one with low rates, which is why we have to be good stewards of what we get. There is no mission without a margin to support it. We are always looking for ways to make things better for the people we serve and our employees so please reach out with other ideas you may have. Thank you!

Thank you for your post, although it is a difficult message to read. It is never our intent to punish people and we pride ourselves on being a company of integrity who does what we say we are going to do and don't lie. I have worked closely with our HR teams and have not seen or experienced what you describe, but that does not diminish what you report. I can assure you I will look into this immediately. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
