Best place I have ever worked - Operations Director Oregon Community Programs Employee Review

Provides excellent training for early-career therapists. Opportunity to work with high-need kids and families and see incredible impact. Very welcoming and caring environment.

I did not experience many cons in my role as an intern. Working with this population can provide unique challenges and it is helpful to consider whether that fits your skills and interests.

Individual offices. Dog friendly environment. Positive research-supported work helping families, as long as the referrals are appropriate. Some minor changes based on feedback get made.

The title "turnover city" should be enough said, as it hints to the many widespread problems. They don't care about the turnover despite being told over and over they are causing it. They exhaust people, then can't keep them around, so then they raise the amount of money that the few remaining moneymakers (less than 10 people) need to bring in for the whole agency (not the program) to survive. They only have those expectations of certain employees; others skate on the work of the few. You are replaceable. They say to your face not to work so hard that you lose sleep, but then if you don't, they will - get this - CUT your salary. They already pay a masters level employee only slightly more than the proposed new minimum wage - 15.50/ hr - & yet they still somehow feel that reducing that low of a salary is acceptable. Local grads will not work here, so they rely solely on hiring recent grads from out of town or out of state. Their board of directors is hidden (why? What's the big secret?) and supposedly they are the ones who voted to freeze wage increases. So, no raises. For more, see reviews for Kairos, a similar agency in Grants Pass, OR. These two agencies have similar problems.
