Pros

Many years ago this was a great, caring company with world class treatment. This was before Rebecca Steinfort (CEO) and other Executives were installed by private equity to scale the business and improve profitability. What followed was leadership that focused on profits above care and implemented ruthless business practices and policies, which have indeed improved business results in short term ways (with focus of Executives being able to sell to new equity owners, which they did, to achieve bonuses and large payouts), but in doing so completely eroded and hollowed out the culture and soul of the organization - compromising and poisoning the long term sustainability and hurting a lot of teammates and patients in the process.

Cons

There is a lot of dysfunction and it all stems from the top of the organization and the Executive team. Arrogant and selfish, they lead with short term tone deaf practices. Examples include, under paying employees, small raises and poor benefits, refusing to adjust inadequate staffing to client ratios, not advancing promoting employees, cutting corners or outright ignoring food safety regulations. Things will not change until Executive team is replaced, the board finally reads and acts on reviews like this one, or so much turnover and poor reputation impacts clinical work to point there is a major patient tragedy or public scandal. I worked here for years, often closely with the executive team and saw how the sausage was made. I naively hoped things would change, that the COO would eventually be replaced, that they would hire a competent CHRO or a CHRO at all. I reasoned that once the company was sold to a new equity partner the CMO and other Executives might make their money and leave or retire (maybe they were locked in for 12-24 months?). I unfortunately stayed too long. All the best employees with good sense left years ago. Environment - Trust compromised. Gossipy and backbiting. Gaslighting. Heavily political. Low accountability. Low respect. Unfair. Unethical. Broken. Last thing I'll say here. When the entire compliance team all leaves at once... maybe that's a sign.

Pros

Patient population and great training to work with eating disorders

Cons

Workload and poor management—management does not care about its employees and will overwork therapists and floor staff (BHCs) when census is low. They rarely, if ever, step in to assist with low staffing. I’m

I am sorry to learn of your experience at ERC. Leadership is working hard to be responsive to compassion fatigue and feeling overworked. As a response to the results from our recent employee engagement survey, we have changed our PTO policy to ensure employees are taking appropriate time of for proper work/life balance. As with new policies, there is always an adjustment period. Your suggestions to staffing solutions are always helpful.

Pros

Most of the employees truly do care about the patients and their treatment. They want to make an impact and work long and hard hours to ensure that the standard of care is superb.

Cons

ERC is where good employees come to die and become the epitome of apathetic. The company is run by a core group of people who are truly dedicated to the company. They know of all the issues and continue to look the other way in order to protect management. It is like a revolving door. Many good people come in and leave. Most last between 90 days and a year. Many employees are over worked, under paid and stressed out. It is a literal mad house and there is no true accountability. If you speak up and say there needs to be change you become a target. You instantly get left out of the loop. You get cut from emails, people avoid you, remove you from meetings, and quit speaking with you. Things will happen behind your back and people will begin to do things they are not authorized to do. They are afraid to check the Dallas leadership team and let them run wild. The HR team in Denver isn't much better and do the same thing, even to each other. It is a literal dog eat dog world. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy. Their reputation continues to swirl down the drain while they stand their smiling acting like the world is all sunshine and daisies. Lies, deception and people refusing to do what is right. Avoid it at all costs!
