Southeast Healthcare

The absolute worst place I have ever worked or experienced. While I had a wonderful direct supervisor, the rest of administration, aka “the 4th floor,” is completely absurd. They act as though they are very above and better than everyone else, and that team leaders and direct service providers are “lower than.” They do not listen to any input from staff and make decisions that don’t make sense for staff or clients. Any problems that I have ever known to be reported to HR and/or administration (by myself as well as others), have been downplayed or completely dismissed. They seem to think that when intimidation, sexism, and a hostile work environment are reported, there is no need to conduct an investigation. This handling completely contradicts their policies. When they were asked how to file a grievance or formal complaint, no response was given. The turnover at Southeast is high for so many reasons... but primarily because work loads are intense, pay is insufficient, staff are not valued whatsoever, and people are in positions that they have no business being in. Additionally, people are put into supervisory positions without the appropriate credentials to supervise their staff. After the traumatic experience I had, and the horrible, unethical things I witnessed, I feel it is my duty to encourage everyone, both client and professional, to stay as far away from this agency as possible.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only good thing about working at Southeast was helping people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Minimum wage. Doing the work of 3 different positions/titles. Overworked while other staff members got away with doing illegal and immoral things on the job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most of all extreme favoritism. It gets in the way of those that work hard to help those in need.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
For me, working from the time you get out of your car in the morning. Being in demand to help your clients and being pulled in every direction.

This place is full of stress. You constantly have clients angry, ready to argue, demanding, and think the world revolves around them.  You have case workers who sit on thier butt not responding to clients in any time of timely fashion and it's unfortunate that all the good ones leave and are constantly looking for a better job. The turn over rate here is unbelievable. Don't trust much in your supervisor because they are hardly ever available.  Your co-workers are there for a paycheck, not for the needs of the client. This place is a joke. Definitely not a love for your job here unless you work at one of the houses. The management at the houses is GREAT! Props to that lady, she kicks butt.

I have been employed with Southeast Healthcare for nearly 4 years. I love the culture here and staff is amazing. Since it is in the mental health field it can be very difficult at times and mentally exhausting so the importance of self care during the off hours is extremely important.  There are incentives outside of the pay, which is mediocre, that buffer your regular income (ie mileage reimbursement and monthly productivity bonus). I would love to remain employed but am relocating out of state. truly makes me sad to be leaving.

The pay was minimal for the overwhelming amount of work and stress you are put under..
Could not keep sufficient staff due to poor management ethics
Most enjoyable part was helping people
No work life balance whatsoever, there were times when I would work 16hrs due to inability to have coverage, short staffed 
Hard to do your job when you say one thing about rules then don't stick to what was told

My knowledge of assessing has increased, diagnosing has improved,  leadership skills, and team work is a must. The pace is very steady and must keep productivity up. If productivity fails below expectations then its red flag. This can cost a person's job if their time management is not in tact. The co-workers are awesome which helps make your day go by faster.


Terrible place to work. This company has unrealistic expectations for government funded grants. Funding is being used to paid upper staffs. Policies are unclear. Way too much supervision, way too many meetings. Would not recommend.
The culture diversity needs improvement. Management only support those who they want and will find a way to not support others even HR's department. They lose great people; they lack growth due to this behavior.


They have poor management they don’t know what the next manager told the next person.  I got horrible bed bug bites from the residential houses . I reported it and took pictures and I went home and had to throw my clothes and shoes away before entering my home.  I took my shifts down to parttime and they still were taking money out of my check for medical and dental and I had no coverage .they under pay all their staff and have a high turnover .

There was no work life balance in my particular line of work.   There were times that I was working on holidays, weekends, when I was sick because there was no one else to do the work.  

In addition, pay is very low and company is not able to find good employees who will stay.  

They are good about pushing people out of jobs. 

Contingent...working with and helping clients,( mental health, drug and alcohol addicted).  Took CPI training, Red Cross classes & more.   Floated daily to relieve operator and receptionist positions for lunch, vacations, and sick leave.  Loved helping clients link up with services through their personal case management teams insuring contact. Least enjoyed suicide calls and the detailed reporting.
