Pros
Decent pay and remote work.
Cons
Although the founder has officially retired, he still appears to be heavily involved, which is confusing to staff. The new CEO seems to have had a harmful effect on the organization he established, too, since the company’s direction has shifted in ways that feel totally out of step with its original mission and values. Its messaging has also become more fear-driven, which can feel at odds with evidence-based public health communication and more reflective of an outdated “war on drugs” mindset than one actually focused on supporting people and communities affected by SUD. The workplace itself is toxic, with an expectation that employees are always available and working beyond normal hours. Managers say things like, “I’ll work on this later tonight” or “will do it over the weekend” and it has become normalized, leaving little room for work-life balance. HR also seems largely absent, communicating very little and not functioning as a reliable support for staff during layoffs and ongoing changes.
