Pros

Risk experience I have to write “at least 5 words for pros” but I can’t think of anything else

Cons

I feel so lucky to have gotten out so quickly. This company only cares about its customers and not the employees. The “team leads” or “clinical managers” use the company “Spark” (instant messaging) to talk poorly about the GRU GC/GS employees... and sometimes even accidentally send it to the person they’re talking about or do it right in front of you when you’re at their desk to ask a question! :))) This company solely cares about numbers- quantity over quality for them. It’s not our fault the queue light keeps blinking. You keep worrying about bringing on more and more companies when you can’t even keep your own employees to staff them. And then you try to tell us to work harder and faster, as if that’ll solve it. I had to ask HR 4 times about an exit interview before I received one. HR/Directors will purposely not respond to emails. No healthy snacks PTO is horrible when you take into consideration that those are also your “sick days” Salary is a joke... even with their recent increase to $38,000 for starting (for masters level, that is) All new employees start on night shift (11:30-8p) which you won’t think is bad...until you do it. Managers only talk to you when you do something wrong and the company never praises or recognizes when you’ve done something really well or saved a life. If you’re a true social worker/counselor, you’ll clearly see all the unethical ways in which CP operates within one week of working for the company (main reason I left). You are NOT treated like an adult and you’re constantly micromanaged and not trusted to fully do the job you were hired for. Even as a salaried position, you have to clock in and out every single day and they check that on the minute. One day, it was 4 minutes after my shift started and my entire floor received an email asking the later shift why they weren’t on phone calls yet when..... idk... we have to check our emails and log in and maybe stop to ask a manager a question. 4 minutes. Yikes. AND to top it off... if you receive a child abuse case and are the counselor the patient/client tells... you have to pass it on to a Care Reviewer who decides and “maybe” reports it. That’s not even legal. Again- do NOT work here, even if you’re desperate.

Pros

Very stable employer with many opportunities for learning and growth. Ability to work fully-remote and employer provides the necessary technology for you. Full benefits and perks provided at service anniversaries.

Like most employer now PTO is limited to start, but is more generous later.

Pros

I have spent many years in many different organizations. I can honestly say that I feel more at home at Compsych than anywhere else in my career. The work brings me into contact with peers who are extremely helpful and kind. Upper levels of management are approachable and interested in suggestions and the success of the employees. I am very happy to be spending my years before retirement in such an environment.

Cons

Contact with the public, of course, has drawbacks. There can be people who are very, very difficult to deal with. I am trying to learn how to let it go and move on.
