Pros

Great mission. Long history of helping adults with mental illness. Staff is largely well- intentioned, competent, and great to work with.

Cons

This website still lists Howard Spanbock as CEO. Howard passed away in 2012, leaving behind a wonderful legacy. The new CEO has proven not to be up to the task. The administrative team has suffered greatly during his tenure, especially once he hired the current controller and operations manager, who has created to a hostile working environment. Administrative staff are harassed, yelled at, given unreasonable expectations, and asked to participate in unethical/questionable activities. Complaints to HR go ignored or employees are retaliated against for filing complaints. The bottom line: out of an administrative staff of 15 positions, 13 people have left in the past 18 months, which includes some positions being refilled more than once.
