Current Employee – been working at The Guidance Center full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Onsite trainings through the VCE and the clients who come in.

Cons – If management does not like you for whatever reason... They will run you out! They create fear in their employees so you feel as if you can never ask questions. When you do not know something, they will use it against you to the point of determination. The current average length of time for new employees before they quit is 3 months.

The work load is intense. The average case load for one therapist is 100+. All therapists are burned out and frown upon for taking days off. You will never meet expectations for productivity and paperwork as they are unachieveable.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at The Guidance Center

Pros – Very flexible with work schedule in order to attend school or be being sick etc...Most of the co workers were okay.

Cons – Favoritism plays a lot there. You can earn a degree while working there and not get a raise for it. But someone who comes in off the street that has the same degree and no experience get's paid more money then you. Raises are far and few between but yet the higher ups make over a $100,000 a year! When upper management knows that certain employees are not carrying their work load and add the work to you, but that employee never gets in trouble or fired...so beware of that..

Advice to Senior Management – Need way better management in every department and fire the lazy people!
