I was a clinical therapist for about 6 months and during that time there were a lot of shady practices being dealt with at the organization like if you are placed under a performance evaluation with even one check-mark for needing improvement you will be placed under a performance evaluation and therefore if you choose to leave the job all the PTO/time off earned cannot be paid out until after the performance evaluation time period is completed by the person on it. PLEASE DO NOT WORK HERE in order to save yourself from drama and low pay, as well power struggles, as well with working for an organization that will protect themselves way before they advocate for you. Lastly, seriously I worked here and I am so upset and sad that this system and culture of this workplace teaches Sanctuary model yet lacks effective application of the model. Please consider this employment only as a last alternative but not a place to gain your clinical hours, a place where you will work more then 40 hours a week with no over-time pay, and policies that protect and neglect there core 7 values. The amount of Trauma in staff shows how they talk and treat one another as well the kids in their care. The kids have even been at high risk for abuse and neglect under the care of this agency and the state has allowed it due to where else could the kids go? Also please be careful with this organization due to the fact I'm noticing they try and remove negative reviews on different sites.
