Child Mind Institute has no regard for the safety of their employees

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

None at all during the pandemic

Cons

Child Mind Institute has been requiring some employees to come into the office since June of 2020, all throughout the pandemic. Other employees with certain "upper level privileges" were not required to do so. As of December 2021, the majority of the support staff team has contracted COVID at least once, some twice. These employees took the subways, trains, buses, to come into an empty office even when there were no clinicians coming in or in-person appointments. Child Mind continuously has put employees through unnecessary risk just to be able to say they are "open in person" during the pandemic. It is not safe to work here and Child Mind Institute will not look out for your wellbeing.

They do great work but is in dire need of more diversity among staff.

Pros

The School and Community Programs at CMI bring much-needed resources and interventions to diverse communities across NYC. Clinicians on this team seem very passionate about improving their services and doing ethical work.

Cons

The diversity among staff definitely leaves a lot to be desired. All clinical managers in this department are white and there are less than a handful of non-white clinicians on the team. This is very disappointing being that the communities served by the School and Community Programs are primarily non-white. The workplace culture also demonstrates little interest in elevating the contributions of non-white clinicians and recognizing the value they bring to this work. Would not be surprised to see high employee turnover because of this.
