California Spectrum Care

Working at California Spectrum Care was a challenging experience in behavioral health and client support. A typical day involved assisting clients, documenting services, collaborating with team members, and addressing client needs throughout the day. While I gained experience in communication, problem-solving, and crisis management, the work environment often made it difficult to perform effectively and consistently meet expectations.

Management expectations could sometimes be challenging, and communication regarding policies and procedures was not always consistent. The workplace culture was often unsupportive, as some coworkers primarily helped their friends and rarely offered assistance to others. At times, employees were more likely to laugh at a coworker’s struggles than provide support, which created a discouraging work environment.

The hardest part of the job was balancing a demanding workload while ensuring each client received quality care and attention. The most enjoyable part was building relationships with clients and seeing their progress over time. Overall, the experience highlighted several organizational and communication challenges, making it a largely negative experience despite the skills and knowledge I gained in the behavioral health field.

I am very pleased with the job and culture here at California Spectrum Care. I enjoy the consistency of working with the same two clients each day, and I like driving so picking up and dropping off clients in my personal car is not a problem. The company pays us for the milage too. Each day we go out into the community and learn new skills. I myself have learned a lot from both my coworkers and clients while working here. Management are good people. They are super understanding and helpful when I come to them with questions or concerns. I believe management treats us all very fairly. If you make a mistake, be honest and own up to it. Honesty is key to working here. I’d say an important part of this job is you need to have patience and understanding for the people you work with. I love that every Friday is Fun Friday. We go out and do fun things like BBQs at the park or stay in and watch a movie. I look forward to going to work here at CSC, and that’s why I plan on working here long term. 

This company was great to work for in regards to the clients and work hours. The pay is not bad and they are generous with bonuses and pay raises.
The culture when it comes to upper management is clique like and your job security is based on who you know in upper management. You have job security based on if upper management likes you or not and unfortunately that is based on what they hear about you because they are never in the field to witness the unhealthy culture they are fostering(they ask their employees to tell on each other and they have a favorites)  there are a lot of red flags, but the biggest ones are the ones that I mentioned above other than that it’s a great company to work for.

I’ve been in this field for over 15 years, and have been with California Spectrum Care going on 2 years. There is so much more knowledge I have under my belt because to this company.  The enrichment to the life’s of the individuals we support is what keeps me showing up everyday with a positive attitude. The overall structure that CSC has created gives us the proper tools to successfully support our clients. 

My personal experience has also been a positive one. When I first started with CSC I was interested in growing with the company. My hard work was noticed and at my almost 1 year anniversary I was promoted to program manager. 

Overall it’s good company. Training especially for employees with no experience should be a must!  You get thrown with a client. Definitely expect to learn job as you go. The ones who are supposed to be giving support or training can be found in the office busy knitting together. Rare to see them out office.

California Spectrum Care is a great place to work for, everyone is very helpful, supportive and friendly. Management has an open door policy and is always there to help.  I am very pleased with the company’s mission and values. Working for California Spectrum care is very rewarding as you build relationships with clients and their families. The clients we serve are wonderful and I truly enjoy seeing them onward to a higher quality of life. 
It is wonderful to be a part of the California spectrum care team and I look forward to what’s to come as the company continues to grow. 

I was an employee for two years and witnessed a lot of issues within the company. It is very rewarding working with clients and seeing them progress but the level of unprofessionalism was not worth working in this company. They undervalue a lot of employees and dismiss employees concerns. They promote employees to snitch on other employees which creates a toxic and hostile environment. They advertise growth in the company but have a fixed idea on who they want to promote beforehand or hire outside of the company.  

Working with the clients was so much fun. And the entire idea of what this company is doing, is really amazing. I immediately felt comfortable with all of the clients and the staff. It took a month or less for me to figure out that there are so many favorites in the office and, if you do anything that bothers one of them, everyone dislikes you. It doesn’t feel safe to express your opinion or suggestion. Even if you believe that, you’re a great leader, and have shown to excel in a leadership role, there is no ability to promote.

You'll be using your car alot with no help with maintenance and gas. Clients will be a mixer of good to bad (also staff as well). Upper management communication is questionable. Be prepare to learn as you go. Upper Management spends most of their time in the office discussing vacation plans, Zodiac signs and etc. Last some staff micromanage you as well. But other than that great company.

I’ve been at California Spectrum Care since 2019
I’ve always found it to be a great place to work. 
Recently I’ve had a family go through several major surgeries. The owner and directors have given me so much support that I have never know at any other job. They helped me walk through the paperwork for 3 different leave of absence and are flexible if I needed more time .  I can’t imagine not being a part of this wonderful team and family
