The pay is terrible, and asking for a raise is like pulling teeth.
Frontline workers are checked out because of lack of support and burnout.
Management only cares about themselves.
Administrative supervisors push all of their stress and mess on to the frontline workers.
As a result of management/supervisors being stressed, they don't remember high-need or high-risk clients on your caseload, don't provide any follow-up support on serious high-risk clients, or remember what schools your located at.
You are asked to transition to a different school midday, despite a school being anywhere between 20 to 45 minutes away, and 1 school out of the 5+ you're at.
There is no work-life balance here and can be hard to request time off.
If you are able to get time off, it is VERY hard to enjoy your requested time off, because you might still be contacted or have to do your paperwork.
"30 billable hours and 10 nonbillable hours" but your caseload is 60+ clients which forces you to work outside your working hours and leads to 60+ hour work weeks. (and no overtime pay)
The expectation to meet billables but takes away from the clinical work with clients.
If you have to transport clients, you do that in your personal vehicle and mileage reimbursement is trash (IIHS & TDT days).
Lack of support with administrative paperwork as management only cares about $$/caseload #'s instead of the clients/families.
No consistent office assistant (because management stresses them out and drive them to quit).
No administrative support.
Not all employees are team players.
Ha, what diversity and inclusion?
Lack of support with CEU's or other trainings (and Relias trainings are not it).
Refusal to meet ADA standards for employees.
Requires you to sign an arbitration agreement because they expect you to file an EEOC claim.
The change in structure from Family Preservation Services (FPS) to Clarvida was not smooth, as other community resources in the area had no idea what Clarvida is.
There is a serve lack of organization when someone either takes leave (maternity leave, PTO) and/or leaves the agency. As a result, clients are dumped randomly onto other clinicians and some clients might not receive services all together without any communication.
Depending on where you live, expect to drive 60+ miles/week, at your own expense, including the wear and tear on your car.
Unnecessarily complex and redundant system and paperwork that takes up as much time as a session, or longer.
A lack of consistent workspace in the schools you work in and/or at the office itself.
At some schools there is a lack of support from school staff. There may also be conflicting priorities by school staff in comparison of what is required of you as a clinician.
Due to size of caseload and the many schools served, lunch breaks, breaks in general, are almost nonexistent.
Administrative supervisor have favors and cater to them.
After you receive your license, you are still required contractually for 2 years.
