Child Mind Institute reviews

The environment strongly cultivates an academic mindset, where maintaining a perceived level of prestige and status seems to be valued far more than the completion of actual, impactful work. Leadership within the organization often projects an unwarranted "smarter than thou" attitude, consistently demanding respect and deference, which makes open and honest communication difficult. Frequently, significant assignments or projects are dropped or significantly altered at the last possible moment, creating unnecessary stress and disruption. Employees can expect to endure constant overwork, pervasive micromanagement, and a frustrating lack of clarity regarding their roles, responsibilities, and performance expectations. Furthermore, communication channels are frequently ineffective, with a noticeable tendency to prioritize elaborate Powerpoint presentations and superficial displays of activity over the actual achievement of tangible results and measurable success. Not actually nice

I have never experienced a workplace so unprofessional. I was contacted via Scoot to work as a summer substitute teacher for the Youth Mental Health Academy (YMHA) through the Child Mind Institute. From the start, the level of disorganization and disrespect was shocking. During training, the links didn’t work, and people were left in the Zoom waiting room for over 30 minutes after the scheduled start time. Nina Denson, the manager, consistently referred to employees as if we were students, making belittling comments like, “This is what students do,” which felt dehumanizing and disrespectful. It came across as a clear power trip. If you value being treated with professionalism and respect, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This experience was extremely disappointing. You are also not allowed to email staff regarding anything. If you email your Scoot Consultant a simple question, they will send an angry email back saying and I quote " DO NOT EMAIL ME". I have never been treated this way by an employer EVER! I am surprised no one has SUED for poor workplace environment.
