-Lack of transparency, honesty and compassion from management. Expect two-faced, dishonest, money-hungry leadership who will not have your back when you need it or ask for it.
-Overworked and under paid for working with high-acuity patients in an intense setting. Expect your mental health to suffer as you are told to overwork yourself and provided with minimal support along the way. Expect your requests for PTO to be questioned and/or denied.
-Patient care taken out of the hands of the therapist. Expect the therapist's clinical judgement and expertise to be ignored and dismissed.
-THIRA preaches DBT without actually training therapists in how to administrator to fidelity. Expect to be teaching DBT groups without ANY training on how to do so effectively in your second week of work.
-Constant, thoughtless changes that negatively impact patients and employees alike. Expect changes to happen constantly, often without explanation, and on extremely short notice. Expect to not have control over your schedule and to be picking up the pieces when the changes made cause chaos.
-The profit THIRA makes is ALWAYS the bottom line. Expect that profit will come before compassionate and ethical patient care as well as employee wellness.
-Extremely high turnover. Expect a short stay of employment at THIRA, as the work environment is impossible to remain in long-term.
