Virtue Recovery Center

When I first started working here, I genuinely loved my job. The environment was positive, leadership was supportive, and it truly felt like everyone cared about the patients and worked together as a team.

Unfortunately, over time, the workplace changed significantly. There was constant turnover in both leadership and staff, and each leadership change seemed to bring more inconsistency. Morale declined, favoritism became noticeable, and workplace drama became common.

What disappointed me most was the shift in focus. It no longer felt like patient care and recovery were the top priorities. Instead, it often seemed like financial goals came first, which made it difficult to feel fulfilled in my role.

Based on my experience, I would encourage job seekers to explore other opportunities where leadership is more stable and the organization’s mission remains centered on helping patients. I hope the company is able to make positive changes in the future.

Working for Virtue Recovery Center has been the greatest experience in my professional life thus far. Managers always state that they have an open door policy, Virtue has been one of the first that I've seen actually mean it. The flexible schedule has been able to accommodate my personal life and any changes that may arise. They have a set expectation of professionalism, which has helped me grow into a more informative and clinically sound care provider. They really do see the value in everyone, and will help you learn in areas of opportunity. NEVER have I worked at an organization where the members of Leadership will come on to the floor and help where they are needed. They embody the essence of what a true Leader is, rather than a boss. If you are reading this and questioning whether to apply or not, I'd definitely advise doing so if you are looking to feel like you are a part of something great, for a great cause. Our patient's get the best care from us, and it all comes down to the team we are building!

Staff is focused on the support and well-being of inpatient clients during their treatment.  Learn a lot about customer-service, substance abuse,  mental health, communication skills, and medical issues.  There is a lot of turn-over in management, kitchen, BHTs, therapists but everyone is generally supportive and helpful.  Culture is up and down depending on staffing—company is not shy about firing people and not always trusting of their people.  Hardest part is keeping fast-paced/demanding environment and keeping up with staffing cut-backs.  Enjoyable parts are other like-minded, dedicated staff, seeing people change dramatically, working in a nice/safe part of town.  The place has lots of potential if they put their energy in developing their people and collaborate/communicate towards consistent goals.

I worked here for many months. There is a very toxic work environment, everyone talks badly about each other behind their backs and no one gets in trouble for it. If management does not like you for whatever reason, they will find a reason to fire you. They are always short staffed so you are constantly being over worked. The supervisors are extremely unprofessional and lazy. They sit around all day telling everyone to do things, but do not lift a finger. There is no "team". The supervisors also talk badly about staff members, and have no past supervisor experience so they have no idea how to run a team correctly, or diligently.  Many of upper management have left the company and gone to the same company to work together, in order to get away for the awful toxic, and drama filled environment at virtue. My recommendation to you, is find somewhere else to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The original individual's who opened the Robindale facility. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The owner and current director. They're not concerned with quality, caring staff, or helping people, just numbers and their income.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You never know when and if you may be fired for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON,  since this is a right to work state.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The employment was originally fun and very rewarding to see the positive outcome of the clients success with continued sobriety. Now you work under a microscope with individual's continuously relapsing and it becoming a revolving door. The company lacks genuine treatment, care, and concern.

Virtue does  not take care of their employees. The work culture is  poor And if you are not favored by the higher-ups, your literally walking on eggshells every day at work. Virtue is all about the money and not about helping people. What I enjoyed  most about this job is engaging with the clients. What I hated most about this job was coming to work every day and having unqualified techs micromanage you to the max: This is a toxic place to work not healthy if you want to truly help people in recovery, work somewhere else. 
Their set up might seem nice and convenient But it is terrible houses are all very little and they shove as many clients they can each one.

Controlling and manipulative environment. When the MGR stops trying to control what people think and say about her and run the company the way it should be run, things will get better. Always short on staff and when mistakes are made, there's no room for grace. Doors are unlocked 24/7, patients can smoke as often as they like and are allowed to have their lighters. When staff forgets to get the lighters back (due to no limitations and short staff) patients often take advantage by getting high in their rooms using lighters. BHT's and nurses take the fall for things that could have been prevented if safety measures were put in place

They will pay you well. but they will constantly put you down and will keep changing processes. You will not know the processes changed and then will be put down for being unaware. Poor culture and uneducated management. They fire people constantly for no reason and they just send an email stating you are fired. It seems like a company playing as a business. There is no maternity leave and the insurance is horrible. The HR department is incompetent and it will take at least 4-8 weeks to even get approved to work there. The HR actually expected the doctors to get a CPR card.

I have worked here a few months and the experience that I gathered was a lack of communication from the managers, every one talks poorly about each other even the leads. The managers bark orders and never gets up and actually do their jobs. All the managers there have ZERO experience on being a manager so the work flow is always stressful and chaotic. The leads will make something up to get you fired if they do not like you especially with the weekend lead he is to young and Naïve to be one. So watch your back and your surroundings if your seeking employment there at Virtue detox. Good luck everyone there is two faced. 

If you want opportunity for growth based on your skills you will not succeed at this place unless you are friends with someone in the higher positions. Coworkers are two faced and love to micromanage everyone. The “support” from supervisors is minimal to none! The pay is trash and the benefits are trash. No one is there for the patients only for paychecks and drama. It’s not a safe work environment and there are SEVERAL compliance issues and health issues. BEWARE OF OVERTIME THEY WILL TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR PAY CHECK!!!!!!!!
