Don’t let the reviews scare - Senior Manager Cenikor Foundation Employee Review

You really feel like the work you do matters. It’s rewarding to contribute to an organization that focuses on recovery, support, and long-term success for its clients. The company has passionate, dedicated individuals who care about the mission and each other. Collaboration is encouraged, and leadership is approachable and invested in growth. There are many opportunities to learn, develop new skills, and take on meaningful responsibilities.

Because the work is mission-driven and fast-paced, some days can be pretty full. It’s not overwhelming, but you do have to be flexible and ready to adapt as needs arise. That said, it also keeps the work interesting and fulfilling.

The people who work in the treatment world for a non-profit are usually there because they’re great human beings - you’ll find some of the best coworkers you’ve ever had here.

The workload is unmanageable. The pay is well below market value. The managers are so overworked that even the good ones snap at their team. Why are members of the accounting team nicer than the leaders in HR? It makes me sick to my stomach how the managers in HR treated those on the HR team; almost every Friday after their big weekly meeting, they would all be in tears because of how they were spoken to. Employee mediations are a joke. Most of the people who work here I think are desperate for a job and have criminal backgrounds which makes it hard for them to leave to find a new job even when they’re being mistreated. Cenikor counts on that fact and takes advantage of their compassion for the clients and their belief in the mission as well as their desperation to have a job. You’re not forced to pay someone fair market rates when they can’t get a job hardly anywhere else.
