Sierra Mental Wellness Group

The role of Crisis Specialist was my favorite job I've ever had. I've learned so much having worked for Sierra Mental Wellness Group I feel is invaluable in the field of mental health. If you want a fast track for clinical hours and clinical knowledge this is the place. Honestly I was  nervous working alongside doctors, nurses, and various medical staff, but comfort eventually came in time: there's definitely a moment where you're like "I'm doing it...well...what!?." I highly recommend the job opportunity and company, there's a lot of responsibility, somedays can be quite busy, and there can be trying patients, but I promise you if you do this job for a while you will have a degree of personal and professional growth you are unlikely to find anywhere else. This may sound saccharine but it's the truth, really great experience all around. 

I loved the job itself but upper management was not helpful in everyday situations. There was clear discrimination of employees, whereas certain people were treated differently and given special treatment. 
The work is hard enough already with the nature of the job, being in the office is not conductive to employees own mental health. 
Training was not adequate. 

Lots of cliques. You have to be young and “pretty” get hours and more pay. If you work too well they cut your hours. The SLO office is a toxic environment. They will cut your hours if you speak up for yourself or someone else. There is no guidance for MCT or peer support. The superior for that group prefers to go hang out at bars with his coworkers who are 20 years younger

The CSU is 23 hours unit, and the guests, managing their stressors, spent much of their time in their rooms.  IE- there wasn't a lot of time with clients ready and emotionally available for therapeutic counseling.  Maybe more on weekdays/ days? Maybe that has changed since I worked there?  On my shifts, too many times guests were sobering up, sleeping most of my shifts.  

Sierra Mental Wellness Group was an amazing company to work for. The staff, the management, the flexibility, the support, the love and the overall company is something I miss on a daily basis. These people were not only coworkers and colleagues but they treated me fairly and loved me for who I was. 

Management has taken a turn for the worse with new people acquiring higher positions and allowing their ego to get in the way of morale. There are conflicts of interest with management and staff on the floor. Before these individuals came aboard, it was a calm environment. 

Reckless endangerment of both employees & clients. No policies, procedures, or protocols. Toxic work environment that includes dishonesty and incompetence. Led by rookies who  do not  have a clue. The almighty dollar is priority #1 here. Do not waste your time & energy - not with the risk! 

A good introduction into the mental health field and crisis work. The peer support role is a valuable component of mental health treatment within a broken system. The supervisors were supportive when needed but otherwise hands off. Lots of turnover of staff at the CSU however. 

Meaningful work with most clients so thankful for support. Positive experience with supervisors and co-workers. 

Lots of autonomy and self-determination needed but felt backed up supervisors when needed. Competitive pay and good benefits 

The management team for SMWG is non existent. The only time they show their face it to fire someone of write someone up. Policies and procedures don’t exist there.
