always a revolving door in Spokane, wa - Assessment Cdp Spectrum Health Systems Employee Review

Pros

the only thing that comes to mind is pay (the same as everywhere else), revolving door so there will always be jobs available for everyone who is not licensed CDP (as the last 2 hires had a highschool diploma ONLY and they only had an 4 hour HIV training to get hired) as a cdpt counselor.

Cons

the lies of getting supervised hours for mental health license, the lies of micromanagement at its fullest when there are counselors that are more qualified than the regional director and program manager! the lies of not getting reimbursed for travelling to complete assessments of three prisons (370 miles round trip) for over 3 months! the treatment programs are scripted and not treatment oriented. and the biggest lies of them all is the lack of common sense and that is why the turn over rate within a year and a half has reach 10 people and counting, under one office. the lies of being able to transfer to another location is none. there is always a revolving door and lack of qualified counselors.

Pros

Working directly with inmates and passionate coworkers.

Cons

Spectrum is a horrible company to work for. They do not value their employees, growth, or take any feedback to improve the company or structure of programming in the prisons. The only people to grow in the company are those who never questioned leadership or cared to implement change - essentially 'puppets' that were easily groomed. When you have worked with several (over 20) different coworkers and all of them quit and left on bad terms, that's how you know there is an internal issue. Spectrum does not care about its employees and will do whatever they can to get rid of you the moment you start questioning their techniques. At one point, I was forced to do work in Spanish when I was not hired as a Spanish-speaking employee nor was Spanish my first language (I only spoke it conversationally) but they took advantage of it and told me if I did not comply, it would be insubordination. I was a Clinical Supervisor being ased to do my role and the role of a counselor for $1/hour more. After years of giving this company my all because I was truly passionate about helping inmates, I finally broke down due to zero support from management after seeking assistance several times with the Spanish counseling work (that was NOT my job). I left on my lunch break and never came back. My supervisor never checked in on me, nor did her supervisor. Truly an awful place, led by awful people who only care about profit and keeping the department of corrections happy.
