Pros

Dedicated staff truly cares for the work they do. Clinical staff is extremely knowledgeable and willing to take time to teach or explain the work they do. Opportunities to receive invaluable experience interacting with clients and families. Access to learning opportunities through lectures hosting onsite clinical staff and outside professionals in the field. If you're an open advocate for yourself and ask for learning opportunities, the clinical and administrative staff are accomodating. Many administrative staff go on to graduate school in varied clinical fields (including me), and working at CMI provides great insight to help in your future clinical experience

Cons

Upper management is not always transparent. Could use better communication. Can be extremely demanding hours (at least when I was there) Clientele or upper management can be difficult to deal with (this a great learning experience and opportunity as long as you have a tough skin). Can be challenging to juggle different expectations from administrative protocols, upper management, and clinical staff. High turn-over rate in the administration department because there's very limited opportunities for upward movement/promotions within

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.
