Pros
Per the headline, I have been an employee here for approx. 6 years and find this place to be stimulating and rewarding. The client care here is second to none and has been staffed appropriately given the population. Approaches to treating the clients have always been innovative and interesting, as there is no cookie cutter approach to treating clients of this nature. Director staff and Clinical work together to create the best treatment outcomes. There is mutual respect and cohesiveness between directors and clinicians with both parties recognizing there are areas that fall out of their scope of expertise. There are only two owners, who spend a lot of money on client care and staffing. Both owners leave a lot of room for inventive ideas and growth. If staff members show dedication and consistency in their work ethic, they will be rewarded with raises and growth within the company. It is really hard for staff to lose their jobs ( meaning people will be give a lot of opportunities to grow beyond mistakes). Upper management will even go as far as to explore different areas for people to work in before they lose their job at the company. One former employee was even written up some 5 times before that person was finally asked to leave.
Cons
The "cons" surround the known stress of working with such a challenging population. This population in not a fit for all who need a job. Growing in this job is hard as many of the current employees that are now in upper management are long standing employees who have shown real dedication and work ethic over the almost six years CCI has been open. Client care never stops which means work can happen 24 hours a day.
