A Good Place to Start, But Not A Place to Stay - Mental Health Clinician A Better Way Employee Review

ABW is great! The benefits are great, a supportive team environment, and a healthy work-life balance. There’s genuine opportunity for growth depending on your position and department. Overall, it’s been a positive experience and a place where I feel valued and supported. I have not been here very long, but I can see why so many people have longevity in the business.

I have yet to deal with a con worth noting.

Working with kids is rewarding and there are some very nice folks working for the organization. There is some flexibility with scheduling.

It's impossible to meet productivity requirements. Clinicians are dropping like flies. Management prioritizes expensive downtown office buildings that clients find inaccessible rather than paying living wages. Management forces clinicians into the office at 9 am in the worst traffic time weekly for meetings that could easily be conducted online. The caseload requirement doesn't take into account how much driving we have to do between clients. There is zero empathy or advocating for us or for clients from supervisors. Supervisors gaslight clinicians and try to normalize being burnt out before even being licensed. The PTO and sick days are combined so it's really not as good as they make it seem. County documentation requirements are time consuming. Mileage reimbursement isn't anywhere equal to cost of gas and wear and tear on cars. Company encourages clinicians to perform "therapy" while driving and other unethical practices. Supervision itself is useless. There is no focus on process or further training that would benefit the client. Instead, were assigned busy work or the focus is on billing.
