      Hard-working support staff but critical, unsupportive leadership - overall toxic work environment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extremely nice office space and decent compensation but please read cons before applying for or accepting a job.

      Cons

      Misleading - this is not a true non-profit instead an elitist company. Funds raised/donated are put towards the state of the art facility on Park Avenue, Administrative staff salaries and housing Psychiatrists/Psychologists who are fully for-profit charging an astonishing amount for therapy/evaluations. Funds do not support the actual aid of children with mental health conditions and patients are of the wealthiest families in New York City and pay a full fee. Therefore the mission statement that mentions improving care for children everywhere is false. High turnover rate due to poor management (no reviews, feedback or training) and toxic work environment if you have to work with the President. From observation female clinicians are treated much differently (negatively). Founder/President works hard but is cynical and has no respect for those beneath him even most members of his executive team. This might be expected (unfortunately) of a fortune 500 company but never of a "non-profit."

      Sub-optimal experience, questionable management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Two companies under one name: Clinic and Foundation. Different experience under each. Fellow doctors and staff at Clinic report generally a good learning experience.

      Cons

      Colleagues on Foundation side report a less positive experience; with verbally abusive and ambitious executives. Little or no loyalty. 60-100 hour weeks with considerably less than market pay. Expectation is to work through lunch. No credit or acknowledgment given for high performance unless PR-worthy. Focus on rich, high-profile clients that can lead to large donations. Staff turnover extremely high with frequent firings without notice and explanation; employees are fired on spot and immediately escorted out the door.

      Quality staff, cynical and manipulative executive staff

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart and ambitious staff. While a young org, the founder and his executive team work hard at raising money and creating a public image. The organization is currently the subject of a workplace lawsuit (see Wikipedia article), but for now having the experience on your CV can still be a positive.

      Cons

      Much higher than industry average staff turnover (both voluntary and forced termination). No reviews or warning, but immediate termination and escorting out of the building.
