Pros

It's not unemployment, but frankly some jobs are worse than not working.

Cons

I've worked in many stressful, even high-conflict environments before coming to CRC. I've never worked anywhere that accepted managers screaming and swearing at subordinates as normal and reasonable behavior. I witnessed this first-hand several times in my own department, and I've heard of similarly appalling treatment happening in other departments across the organization. The entire org is rotten. HR is untrustworthy and retaliation against employees is common when they do work up the nerve to report their concerns—read others' reviews here on Glassdoor for examples. CRC's leadership team is an absolute joke. Rick Doucet is the most contemptible man I have ever had the displeasure of meeting, and the only managers who've survived his 15-plus years as CEO either don't have spines or don't have morals. As they say, "a fish rots from the head down." Every person I've talked to who works for any of CRC's neighboring community & mental health organizations cringes when I tell them where I used to work. I am sure CRC would be the laughingstock of the Front Range among mental health professionals, were it not for the real harm I fear they cause to our community by being an incompetent dumpster fire of a service provider. I met some wonderful people during my time there. I have not met a single employee of that operation whose title was higher than "supervisor" who I respect. All of them treat their teams like fiefdoms, treat their people like trash, and treat their mission like a punchline. I never felt I was made to work excessive hours, but my every waking moment away from work was filled with the dread of having to report back the next business day. I had great coworkers and a great lead, and they're the only reason I made it as long as I did. DO NOT WORK HERE. If you absolutely must, then have an exit strategy at the ready from day one, and document everything. I promise you, you'll need it.

Pros

Community Reach Center is a collective whole of individuals who genuinely care about the community they serve. The organization is constantly striving to be at its best for the employees and consumers. I appreciate the level of integrity that goes into decisions made by the leadership team. Benefits and pay are highly competitive, which is not always the case at a non-profit. HR is there to support the employees from general questions to professional coaching. The culture is focused on collaboration and dedication to a higher purpose. Anyone that works here knows they're leaving a positive impact in the world. CRC is truly a second family to me, and I love working alongside my co-workers. I'm very grateful to work at a place that cares about me as an individual, offers competitive wages/benefits, and carries a high level of integrity in everything they do.

Cons

There can be a large number of meetings. This is something that the organization is looking at and making changes to, which I appreciate.

Pros

Nope, none other than PTO because you’re burned out from a toxic environment, management and toxic clients.

Cons

Poor supervision with poor leadership and management tolerating unprofessional behavior from new leadership in the department. The entire department left because of new management and poor leadership style where a staff member left feeling traumatized by management. The program has a turnover rate mostly because of a lack of training and you’re unsupported by ineffective leadership. The program does not work and there is poor engagement because of poor leadership and not properly resourced staff that is supported which led to burnout and compassion fatigue. Administration roles are not therapists but we were treated like we were and expected to know what to do with toxic behaviors from clients. Lack of support and unreasonable expectations with no solutions in overcoming barriers for clients. Poor decisions and choices from new leadership that caused stress and impacted team morale.
