If you’re looking for a place where you can thrive both professionally and personally, Wayspring is the perfect choice.

Wayspring is one of the best companies I’ve worked for because it truly lives by its values. The work we do makes a real impact on the population we serve, and it feels good to be part of a company that is actually focused on making meaningful change.

A typical day is fast-paced and involves a lot of problem-solving, teamwork, and supporting members through complex situations. I’ve learned a lot in this role—not only about healthcare and care coordination, but also about communication, leadership, and working across multiple departments.

The management team is supportive and approachable, and the culture is collaborative. People genuinely want to help each other succeed, and hard work does not go unnoticed. One of the best parts about working here is that there are real opportunities for growth and advancement. Wayspring encourages professional development, and there are clear paths to evolve into new roles or leadership positions.

The pay is competitive, PTO is generous, and the benefits package is excellent. Overall, it’s a rewarding place to work with a strong mission, great leadership, and a team that truly cares.

A typical day for me involves supporting frontline staff, collaborating with our facility partners, staying connected with colleagues, and coordinating care with both community partners and our clinic. I’m constantly juggling emails, meetings, and monitoring staff KPIs so I can spot gaps early and think strategically about how to address them. In this role I’ve strengthened my communication, problem‑solving, and trauma‑informed care skills, and I’ve learned to navigate complex situations with professionalism and empathy. Moving up through multiple positions has helped me grow as a leader and better support my team. Management at Wayspring is truly supportive. My direct manager invests in me, values my input, and is always there when I need her, and upper leadership is engaged and committed to improving processes. The culture is one of the best parts of working here; our team genuinely cares about each other, collaborates across departments, and celebrates wins together. We also have great benefits, which makes the overall work experience even stronger. The hardest part of the job is the constant change, but it’s always change for the better and now that we have more time under our belt as a growing organization, that pace is starting to slow down.  The most rewarding part is seeing members grow in their recovery and build meaningful lives, and getting to work alongside a team that truly feels like family.

I find it really hard to think of very many downsides to this position. Wayspring is a great company doing a lot of good things for the communities it serves. Compensation and benefits are more than fair. Management actually seems to care about the outcomes of the patients and the well being of the employees here. 

There are some problems in terms of retention of clients and no show rates that are pretty common among the population served. Working with SUD clients is a challenging experience, but it is rewarding. The wrap-around resources that are available here actually seem to make a difference in their lives and helps me feel encouraged as a clinician to make a difference, too. 

Aside from the challenge of burnout and retention, technological hurdles with telehealth sometimes creates headaches, but again, that's to be expected in any similar position. 

I think that the company is at a very pleasant place to be in terms of size and impact as a provider - not too big, not too small. I think that as it grows that will create some challenges for providers, but I am optimistic that things will move in the right direction. 

Peers are very professional and geared toward making a difference in people's lives. 

If you are looking for a good position as a clinician where you can grow and make a difference, I highly recommend this company.

I genuinely love my role and my company. The culture is supportive, positive, and built on trust. I feel empowered to do my job well without being micromanaged, and my workload is manageable.

The work-life balance here is exceptional. Working remotely has been a true blessing for my family, allowing me to be present when my kids get home from school, during school breaks, and when unexpected family needs arise. I also appreciate the flexibility, generous PTO, and the sense that leadership truly understands that life happens.

My team is amazing, and management is both caring and highly competent. They provide strong leadership, meaningful coaching, and ongoing support to help us grow and succeed. The work itself is meaningful and makes a real difference in people’s lives, which is incredibly fulfilling. 

I’m very satisfied with my compensation and benefits, including bonuses, 401(k), health insurance, and company reimbursements. Overall, this is a place where I feel supported, trusted, and proud to work every day.

As a Marketing and Communications Manager, my day usually involves planning projects that help more members connect with Wayspring, creating and executing content ideas, and using my graphic design skills to bring those ideas to life. I also spend time interviewing members and employees to share their incredibly resilient stories and show potential members that recovery is possible and that we will always be there to support them through that journey. 

I love my job because I’m passionate about storytelling and because of Wayspring’s mission. This isn’t just a role where you hear about making an impact; you actually see it. Every department plays a part, and it’s amazing to watch the difference we’re making for people living with substance use disorder. The most rewarding part is knowing our work truly matters. Our culture reflects that passion, and we’re all committed to breaking barriers and building a more compassionate world.

Wayspring is a company that genuinely cares—both about the members we serve and the employees doing the work. The mission is not just something they talk about, it’s reflected in the daily work and in how leadership supports the team. Every day is different, and the job keeps you engaged because you’re constantly learning and problem-solving.

I’ve gained valuable experience in care coordination, communication, healthcare systems, and collaboration across multiple teams. The workplace culture is supportive, and coworkers are always willing to help. Management encourages growth and provides real opportunities to advance within the company. There is room to take on new responsibilities, develop professionally, and move into higher roles.

The pay is competitive, PTO is excellent, and the benefits package is one of the best I’ve had. Overall, Wayspring is a rewarding place to work if you want a job that is meaningful, fast-paced, and offers long-term growth.

Wayspring has great work-life balance, benefits, leadership communicates well and is receptive to feedback. The mission of the organization is easy to get behind and they hire a lot of individuals in recovery. My co-workers were great at supporting each other and giving credit where credit is due. Honestly, the primary reason I give it 2 stars is because the instability makes it impossible to relax. Layoffs seem to come from nowhere and the severance they offer is laughable - laughable, if you don't have ever-increasing bills to pay. They frequently do nice things for employees like giving out Northface gear or flying everybody in from around the country, with a plus one. But, what a slap in the face to those of us who are laid off and told the severance is just the best you can do with such a small company.

The primary pro for me of Wayspring is that we are doing genuinely good work, helping a population that has traditionally been underserved or overlooked. We have really passionate people here, from those working in the field, to the clinics, to the corporate office. I love that we are constantly seeking to raise the bar, to make things more efficient, or to just generally meet the needs of our patients better. There's a lot of idea sharing and opportunity to get outside of your day to day tasks, which I like.

Because we are constantly seeking to raise the bar, we aren't afraid to make changes when necessary, and sometimes the changes come quickly. But I have noticed an effort to make staff aware of changes in a more timely manner, and to train on these changes.


Management should continue to seek feedback from your employees, at all levels and all departments. It's encouraging to see feedback implemented.

Wayspring is deeply committed to its mission at every level, and it’s evident how your daily contributions directly impact individuals affected by Substance Use Disorder (SUD). The company fosters a great culture of work-life balance. However, as the company grows, change management has become a key area of focus. The frequent shifts in positions and departments create some uncertainty. The frequent changes in workflow allow ideas from all staff to be heard and implemented, but their frequency and impact can sometimes cause confusion and frustration. Overall, Wayspring is clearly moving in a direction that makes me proud to work here and be a part of the change.
