Sevita Reviews

Pros

If you’re lucky to be blessed with a strong team in whichever setting you’re in, the job is wonderful. You’ll gain tons of valuable experience in the clinical field, as it is certainly with a challenging population at the group home level. While difficult, it will push you outside of your comfort zone and give you chances to develop as a clinician. Lots of flexibility for decent salary (recent large pay raise) and free clinical supervision if you are seeking licensure.

Cons

Once you receive your licensure, there isn’t much more room for professional growth. Very minimal supervision from your higher ups, who sometimes gives you contradicting information on how to proceed with an issue. Lack of consistency and communication is prominent throughout the company. Minimal staff appreciation, no bonuses or yearly/quarterly raises if you’re salary based, and very little work/life balance if you don’t learn how to allocate your time. Lack of training as well for new employees. Health benefits are terrible - very high deductible plans that make seeing the doctor unaffordable at times.

Pros

1) The kids and families 2) Autonomy for the most part 3) I never have to set foot in a Sevita office. I complete paperwork from home and submit it electronically 4) they give pretty good swag on your anniversary date ( but no annual raise)

Cons

1) I was hired at a combined hourly rate ( billable rate / non billable rate average) at $37.50 per hour. Jan 2021 they cut rates to combined rate of $24, 62. The pay rate for non billable is just above minimum wage and approximately half of the hourly wage paid to work at McDonald's. 2) No raises or salary increases ( only the one $13 per hour decrease) despite insurance and Medicare/ medicaid reimbursement rates increasing. Their financial prospectus just prior to Sevita's recent " juggling" of ownership and renaming themselves "Sevits" estimated an annual gross profit that when divided by the number of employees nationwide, was equivalent to over $500,000 / HALF A MILLION DOLLARS per employee. They can afford to pay a higher rate to hourly employees. 3) Administrative/ salaried/ bonus ( profit sharing) awarded staff are for the most part unsupported and mostly complain about clinical staff and front line/ direct service staff " behind their backs" 4) No continuing education ( ceu ) opportunities offered that can be applied towards license renewal. 5) no pto/ vacation/ sick time for part time employees no matter how long they have worked for the company 6) significant turn over of front line and clinical staff.

Pros

Great clients and supportive + collaborative + engaging families to work with - Caring, supportive, encouraging, talented, missions driven, and multitasking staff to work with - Schedule Flexibility - Good Organization Mission

Cons

Lack of effective and professional communication between Regional Directors/Administrators and field employees. Lack of harmonious communication/synchronization among Regional Directors + Nursing Directors + HR in terms operations, cohesive actions, and service deliveries. They don't value key/great employees. The pay could be more competitive. Not too much room for growth. Medical insurance is very expensive. No tuition reimbursement. Poor training. High level of staff turnover

Pros

Sevita Is a very inclusive company that provides the average wages and it constant professional support. As well as constantly maintaining it's online platforms such as apps and websites.

Cons

The company is constantly updating it's online resources therefore employees are continuously needing IT support and gnu training to accompany the new practices. In addition they are spread very thin because they acquire so many companies. They are always hiring because employees did not make the position a long-term one so working for them it means you are constantly training in new hires.
