Does not listen to employees - Clinician II bei HOPE Program (CA): Mitarbeiterbewertung

If you are interested in forensic work, I recommend working here. I looked all over San Diego County and found Hope offers the most diverse work. There are lots of training opportunities and the company provides CEUs, which I like. I also feel supported by my supervisor and team. The company also offers pretty good incentives.

Adjusting to the four 10-hour workdays took some adjusting to. A three-day weekend is a perk, but you may find yourself contemplating a five-day work week, which the company does offer, so not a con but something to consider before taking the job.

- Mission-driven work that genuinely impacts the community - Opportunities to take initiative and build internal systems - Some genuinely wonderful coworkers who are very passionate about this field and the population

- Pay is significantly below market (for operations and clinical), especially considering the large caseloads and client population (high-risk recidivism) - Role responsibilities (for operations mainly) often expand beyond the job description with no compensation or title adjustment - Lack of formal systems or organization to support staff efficiency or retention (both in operations and clinical) - So understaffed to the point where I was afraid our office locations would have to close because there was 2 clinicians (1 per office) seeing 200+ clients a month each - Management tends to rely on over-performers without providing long-term support or real recognition (aka: here's a $2 plastic water bottle and meme gif saying "idk what we'd do without you! :D") - Burnout is very high across the company and the environment is hectic and at times unsafe
