Working with adults with intellectual Disabilities - Director Chimes Employee Review

It seems so rare to have such a good experience at a job, especially community behavioral health. (so many horror stories) But this team was wonderful, honestly. I love the atmosphere; the employees are very friendly and helpful. My supervisor is kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The other therapists are awesome and add value to my own knowledge. Great job for any level of experience, but terrific for new LMSW's cutting their teeth. I'm moving on due to location and a pay bump, but I'd come back in a second if lived closer (and maybe after I get my LCSW). A good community of clients to work with too.

Wasn't a big fan of benefits confusions when moving from part time to full time, but if that's my complaint, it is small. Also, insurance is expensive if you need to cover spouse. Individual insurance cost is really good though. Fee for service is difficult when you are an LMSW and the insurance you can take is limited - no shows are a bit higher when there are no penalty fees, and fee for service means no pay if no-show. However, there were fewer no-shows than other community behavioral healthcare practices than others that I have worked for.

I am here for the people we serve; management doesn't typically micromanage. Pay is good and health insurance is good.

There are two sets of standards; there are Employees and Management. At this time, chimes has taken almost everything good from there people including 1 of our 2 work from home days but of course Management comes and goes at they please and work from home more than others and when asked why you get lies.
