Toxic leadership, Low Pay, Buried in Work - Administration Canopy Mental Health & Consulting Employee Review

supportive culture, pays well for mental health field, BIPOC friendly

newer company, lots of changes

Working with great therapists and supporting staff

During my time working at this organization, I was deeply disappointed by the stark contrast between its stated values and its actual treatment of employees. While the organization prides itself on empowerment, transparency, and communication, those principles were largely absent in practice. One of the most glaring issues was the lack of support for employees’ physical and mental well-being. Despite being a mental health clinic, leadership made no efforts to ensure a healthy work environment for their staff. Instead of addressing the high turnover rate. the leadership team chose to strong-arm remaining staff rather than address the root causes of dissatisfaction. Employees were often met with threats of unemployment instead of constructive feedback or solutions. Additionally, there was a significant lack of structure and documented policies, creating confusion and inconsistency in daily operations. Supporting staff, in particular, were often disregarded and excluded from resources. Compensation practices also reflected this disregard for existing employees. New hires were frequently brought in at higher wages than current staff, despite having the same or even less experience. leadership continually prioritized new hires without addressing pay disparities or retention efforts. Additionally, instead of fostering professional growth, employees were told their roles were “no longer necessary” unless they could prove themselves—creating a culture of fear and instability. Ultimately, this organization has a long way to go in aligning its internal operations with the values it publicly promotes. While the mission may be admirable, its execution fails to support the very people working to uphold it. I hope leadership takes a hard look at these concerns and prioritizes meaningful change for the well-being of their employees.
