CHRIS 180

What is the best part of working at the company?
Lots of opportunities for advancement. They give free trainings and give always for their employees. My job in community programs flexible and allows me to work from home and in the community. My manager is respectful, knowledgeable and open. They also paid for my license renewal last year. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There are so many departments, programs and grants that the company isn’t really able to keep up with employees or ensure the quality of services to clients. They really only care about quantity. They pay is not competitive or up to industry standards. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They highlight their trauma informed model. They seem to be open and inclusive. Although the company has so many departments and programs it’s hard to get to know employees outside your own program. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work in the community so I set my schedule and drive to my clients homes or do Telehealth services with my clients. I make phone calls to my team members and clients.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Supports , great clinical supports and licensing direction , good team dynamics and activities 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
 I haven’t  experienced any stressors in school based services. Only challenge could’ve the summer and attempting to still meet with clients  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s an open and positive environment. The company really wants you to grow whether that’s licensing or identifying different task you would like to take on or moving into new or higher positions is very encouraged. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day varies on the different job you might be in. School based most individuals are based at an identified school where they are the on-site therapist offering individual therapy group services family therapy services on a daily basis. Over the course of the summer you’re still offering these services however most of the time you’re offering them virtually due to the fact that the student is out on summer vacation.

Because of the wonderful mission, the broad scope of services, and outstanding people, the organization has grown dramatically.  The community needs  more of everything the organization delivers.  Growth can be difficult at times. The org has great service providers and very good people through out.  The org has extensive benefits, and does a lot of events to recognize and appreciate the team members.  The office locations are very up to date and professional. Work days can be busy, and there is a combination of remote and onsite work.  But as with most non-profits, team members wear more than one-hat and that really shows up in management and can be a drag on morale.  And when the economy slows down, non-profits are not immune and some programs have been impacted. But across the org there are very solid professionals (some of the best you can find anywhere) and a great network of people and community organizations to work with as you build and grow your career.  

● Work-life balance
Work-life balance at CHRIS 180 is currently remote for most employees due to Covid-19

● Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at CHRIS 180 are horrible.  It's a non-profit and they don't pay you what you are worth. Benefits are expensive. For employee and family you are looking at close to $350 per pay period. That's almost $700 a month for medical,  vision,  dental.

● Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at CHRIS 180, I think are ok depending on the programs. This company receives grants. Sometimes funding isn't available so Layoffs happens.

● Management
Upper management is ran by all women. HR management is a joke. Other departments have their issues as well.

● Culture
It's ok. A lot of employees talk about others as if it is a middle school. Grow up. You are there to do a job and not belittle anyone.

● Overall
I don't recommend working here. You have been warned. Apply at your own risk.

What is the best part of working at the company?
During my time at CHRIS 180, I observed a strong commitment to training and internal coordination of mental health services, which supported beneficiaries effectively.  The organization excelled at providing structured programs and professional development opportunities for staff.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
However, there were notable gaps in employee safety.  Serving a special-needs population requires robust security measures, and the lack of consistent security presence contributed to several preventable incidents on site.  Additionally, communication regarding workforce reductions was handled poorly, which created stress and uncertainty for employees.

I learned a lot at this job, I really did. However it is not the place for me, as expectations are set extremely high (and are unrealistic) and support from management is low. Expect favoritism among management, low pay, and high stress. Documentation is a nightmare and the EHR makes it even more cumbersome. Management does not know how to communicate in a trauma informed and empathetic way and if you disagree with them, you’ll be invalidated and brushed off. 

I enjoy working with the the clients and my coworkers are AMAZING. If the structure, management, pay, and expectations were different I would stay for a very long time. But they aren’t, and I don’t expect to be here once I’m fully licensed. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The opportunity to be creative.Not alot of micromanaging.I doubted myself at first but did very well until I was terminated because they felt like I didn't handle a situation the way they wanted me to.Alot of favoritism.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Finding coverage,being salary if you don't find coverage you are required to fill the spot.




What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is good as long as your acceptable to the LGBTQ community one wrong comment and your out.


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on your team.I had a good team, they need just some training.

What I love most about working at CHRIS 180 is the staff. We truly are a family and work hard to embody our core values. Though no organization is perfect,  and is in the process of improving, it is a great place to work. CHRIS 180 is dedicated to providing quality services to it's clients, internal and external employees. The Human Resources team has recently expanded and are committed to making CHRIS 180 the Employer of choice. This organization provides mental health services and I believe the next goal for the organization should now be focusing on providing the employees the mental health support they need to cope with the demands of this mentally and emotionally taxing profession. 

Ridiculous organization. Petty people, petty strifes, and ego's out the wazoo. The management, general staff, and aspirants here oscillate between their own severe mental issues or ridiculous internal dysfunction,  most of which is about themselves and their moronic workplace politics, not the "community." Seeking this organizations counsel is tantamount to Lassie being your accountant, or dealing with a fraudster. And their brand of diversity is a farce.  Everything that is wrong with mental health in America, they embody. Also, they're a stain on "progressivism" in America, not a champion of its best aspects. Top down, bottom up, all of it. 

It's a typical money-driven, donor-focused nonprofit "organization." They don't care about the kids, the employees, the therapists, not even the managers or teachers — NOBODY, except the donors or whatever federal/state institution is funding them. From bottom to top, the procedures, management, job descriptions — EVERYTHING (except for the trainers during NEO) — makes no logical sense. They really, really suck. You can't find God’s values here, or even a basic sense of morality or ethics. Just really bad people running this.
