Pros

Fairly competitive pay, mostly great individual people, not a bad place to figure out what community mental health is like

Cons

Absent supervision/management, company is run like a car company (their ethos is literally borrowed from Toyota), zero self-care allowed (employees encouraged not to take breaks or lunch), poor benefits and fewer holidays and PTO than all jobs I've worked before, insane caseloads, cutting corners at the expense of workers, certain clinics get preferential treatment (ex: professional development offered at some but not all locations), focus is always on productivity (quantity over quality), some micro-management going on, very little power to control your caseload or schedule, massive turnover and burn-out, they do not provide gender-affirming care

Pros

Friendly coworkers. Many seem to have trauma-bonded from the difficult experience working for this agency.

Cons

This agency is not healthy to work for. Their motto, "wellness for all," does not extend to their employees. Clinical staff is overworked and given little to no support for managing clinical cases. Clinicians are not even allowed to schedule a lunch or administrative time for themselves. Employees have been misled regarding their salaries and there is no transparency for how financial decisions are made. Management is incredibly subjective and makes financial decisions based off personal relationships. Avoid if you can. There are better agencies in Anchorage offering a healthier work-life balance and ethical practices.
