Tons of drama and gossip, and management doesn’t do anything.  They are actually part of the problem. DON and HR manager has their favorite people and they are untouchable. Monthly meetings in Willows, not mentioned in interviews.No training. Told to “wing it.” Kind of dangerous to say when dealing with health and other people if you ask me. Half the MAs don’t know vaccine schedules and don’t know how to properly admin them. And bring any concerns to management they will ignore you and make you seem crazy. 

You get PTO but if you don’t have enough coverage you can’t get it off. They made us move stuff around which left no room for people calling in sick. Don’t believe the 6 month raise that will be mentioned in your offer letter. They don’t give it to anyone and one of my coworkers waited almost a year and 4 months for her 1 year raise. Also I was promised quarterly bonuses, they said that it was changed to bi-yearly bc they wanted to bonuses to be bigger. Lie.

While the organization claims to prioritize cultural competency, the leadership team does not reflect the diverse populations it serves. This lack of representation contributes to a workplace culture that often feels unwelcoming and tense. Many employees navigate an environment where passive-aggressive behavior is common, creating unnecessary stress in an already demanding field.

For those considering a position in the mental health sector, I highly recommend reading employee reviews before applying. A supportive and inclusive work environment is crucial, and unfortunately, this workplace falls short in fostering a culture of respect and psychological safety for its staff.

Their are not worthy of your time, efforts, and expertise.  The employees are not appreciated at all, and this company have unrealistic expectations way well beyond the norm.  You will be taken advantage of one way or another. Your day at work will be miserable.  They seem nice and professional but shortly you will see right through their unprofessionalism, you will be undermined, and all of this non-sense that is all around this place was and is translated from the very top - so to speak!   If you want to be taken advantage of, or develop a character of no sense, that will land you in trouble outside of this company then this is where you want to be with.  Good Luck as you will need it...

Pros: work/life balance, PTO approval, relatively easy and doable workload expectations to what is needed in reality 

Cons: NO appreciation, management only speak to you when you do something wrong, low work morale in group, poor performance behavior is condoned, lots of staff with bad attitudes, conduct of unprofessionalism runs rampant here while staff are focused on themselves and their personal needs and lives. It's unfortunate for the patients and the staff who are eager to make the most of it at work. 

NVIH is a well run, well organized, all inclusive, very busy place to work. Out IT department is always available to manage any problems, our manager is available and trustworthy and our supervisor in my department is fair and impartial. 
I look forward to going to work everyday. And most days are effortless even though it is busy and we are short staffed much of the time. 

There is a high caseload expectation at NVIH with poor upper management support. Leadership prioritizes optics of “appearing community oriented “ without actually caring for their workers and the communities they serve. Initial individual growth is fostered then seemingly undermined. Many policies do not seem patient or employee centered. I would not recommend working for this company. 

Temp workers are way undervalued. They work the same hours and same days with no PTO, paid holidays or bonuses. Some temps work for this company for over a year and never get shown the same appreciation as full time employees who have only worked there for 6 months or so. They want you to do whatever they ask but they don't want to compensate you for your efforts. Do NOT go above and beyond for this company, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Was great at first, then new management arrived. Was like being in prison

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
New CFO was not approachable. Thinks he is better than the lower level staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Environment was nice and clean.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful but just tried to make the best of it

find out where I would be stationed and get to it.  I learned to work with all the programs I would need. I learnd to check in and out the patients and schedule their next visit or reschedule if they needed to do that. I learned to create billing sheets and was in the process of learning to check a patients insurance.

Poor environment.   High expectations of results low pay.  Too many interns for affective supervision.  They hire interns for cheap labor and do not provide affect supervion.  Management only cares about productivity and not the community.  Most native staff were fired or left due to corporate culture.  Recommend other native clinics if you want to work in the community.
