Is this your company?

CMI looks great on paper, but, unfortunately, that's where the good ends. - Anonymous employee Child Mind Institute Employee Review

Pros

The operations team on the foundations side of the agency was fantastic. Friendly, sweet, passionate...they made coming in every day tolerable. Salary was OK for the position. Location was easily accessible and the hours were standard 8am-4pm. HR was also fair.

Cons

Harold is a bully and a tyrant. Unless you were a PhD, you were treated like a second class citizen by the psychologists/clinicians. I've never been made to feel so little before in my life. My supervisors were misleading, condescending and unreasonable. Training was lacking and if you made a mistake or asked a question for clarification, you were made to feel like a burden. Although many places have incorporated a 30 minute lunch break, you felt guilty for taking it. No other breaks were offered. The place caters to the elite and if you're not that...they'll make sure you're aware of it.

Pros

Some very smart minds working here

Cons

- Extremely toxic work culture - Senior Leadership have no strategy. They chase good PR to the detriment of the health of their teams. - All power stems from the top. It changes like the wind and is not anchored in the mission or evidence. If you are not kowtowing to the leader, you are let go and without any respect to what you have contributed. This can be seen in the C-suite changing constantly over the past year. - Resource allocation prioritizes senior leadership salaries, which negatively impacts delivery of programs and services. This also illustrates to anybody wanting to invest or fund that it is not a good place for ROI. - Extremely high turnover is a reflection of toxic HR and senior leadership.
