It’s good! but there’s better - Anonymous employee Cove Behavioral Health Employee Review

The team is incredible, the supervisors and management are super supportive, and I enjoy the work I do.

I do not have cons at this time.

- Good place to build experience in the substance use and behavioral field. Wide range of severity of presenting problems primarily within substance use and co-occurring disorders (trauma, mood and anxiety mainly, but also some psychotic and adhd and more). - Challenging yet rewarding diverse population to work with. Many clients start as ambivalent or mandated, but become more engaged and self-driven as they progress in the programs. Very rewarding to see the positive impact of the work done. - Middle management is supportive. I was in two different programs and my three supervisor/managers were great, they provided enough support while allowing me to learn by doing and getting feedback. I never felt I could not ask for support or ask "how to" questions. Great people but little they can do to promote positive change and advocate for the wellbeing or life-work balance of their team. Don't rock the boat seems to apply at this level. - There is a sense of belonging and acceptance to the cause and the place.

- Low compensation and benefits, salary low, and specially health and retirement could be better. This is the main reason why I left. Hard to stay loyal when the income is not large enough to pay the bills and other opportunities are considerably more competitive (some opportunities around 20 to 40% higher for same level of experience and credentials, with similar or better benefits). That said I really wish they had shown some appreciation and made a stronger effort to retain me (offer higher pay). Unfortunately the amount of work and responsibilities did not match the salary offered at promotion. - Culture could be less alienated between hourly vs salaried/middle management, vs. higher ups. This divide promotes a culture of complaining behind doors and a toxic work environment. CEO seems decent with numbers (outcomes) and money. Unfortunately she does not seem to value the people who provide the services that bring the money in. Employees appear to be nothing but replaceable pawns (with a few exceptions). She seems a decent administrator. I don't see her as a people's leader.
