Pros

TW Ponessa has flexible staff and management. They are understanding and flexible with the staff.

Cons

When working as a TSS, your hours can be long, late, and inconsistent. You could see a client till as late as 8pm and/or your client could cancel on you and you lose hours/pay.

The medical Director was very nice.

Lacks professionalism. Do not value their employees, and patients. It was all about making more money.

We appreciate your feedback and we are sorry to hear that your employment experience with us did not satisfy your expectations. We set a high standard for ourselves and we are truly sorry to hear that standard was not met in your interaction with our organization. You mentioned that we lack professionalism and do not value our employees and clients. This is very unfortunate to hear, as we continually strive to foster a professional, and supportive work environment that values our dedicated and compassionate staff. We truly appreciate all of staff member’s hard work and tireless efforts to help our clients on a daily basis. Our organization would not be able to provide the high quality mental health services that we expect to deliver without our exceptional staff. In regards to this effort, our administrative team routinely reviews and updates our company’s policy & protocols, taking into consideration feedback from our staff & clients, to ensure we are maintaining the highest standards in our delivery of services. Regarding your recommendation to offer better benefits, as a company we persistently seek to offer the most competitive benefit package to our employees. For instance, this year TWP incurred the rising cost of health insurance to avoid passing on the additional cost to our employees. This will allow our employees to keep their current health plan at no change in cost when compared to the prior year. Again, we are saddened to hear of some of your experiences with us and we thank you for your feedback. We genuinely care about your opinion and we are committed to doing more to ensure that all of our employees and clients feel valued and appreciated!

Pros

This company makes it a priority to care about employees, not only as a whole but individually as well. I have been employed here for 15 plus years and throughout my employment, I have always appreciated the recognition of my service, loyality and commitment to the work. Administration makes noticeable efforts to support and appreciate their employees as best as possible. I have never felt like I wouldn't be heard if I had concerns and I have always felt like I am an important part of the team, no matter what position I held. This company has a strong commitment to serving their clients as well as the staff they employ.

Cons

Being a large company spread through multiple counties, it is difficult to find opportunities to get everyone together as a whole. It can be a challenge for employees to participate in company activites if distance is an issue. I do however appreciate that the company continues to try to offer team building and company sponsered events outside of work. I hope we can see more of that.
