Child Mind Institute reviews

CMI’s financial strategy is driven more by branding and marketing than by mission. Its programs are underdeveloped and largely untested, with little rigorous evaluation of their effectiveness. Those prioritizing true program quality and evidence-based outcomes would be better served elsewhere.

There is a high turnover rate for a reason. We were not paid well and were understaffed. The research program I worked for became such a mess and leadership was disorganized. I didn't feel like my supervisor cared about me. When my team got reduced and I was worried about pay, I was doing a few overtime hours here and there. I later found out that my supervisor deleted my overtime hours to reduce my pay and when I called them out on it, they blamed me for not having a good "work-life balance". This was when I knew I had to leave. Lastly, the president and founder of the company keeps an egregious amount of what the company makes. During the pandemic, he decided to take a "pay cut" from 2 million to 800K and furloughed a large portion of the company. For reference, I was making 37K at the time (I hope things have changed) and got furloughed for 2 months. This type of greedy leadership trickles down and those at the bottom feel the negative impacts of this type of work culture.
