Veritas Collaborative Employee Reviews about "great mission"

Pros

It's a growing company with a great mission and the CEO really cares about everyone. Leadership actually takes the time to listen and makes genuine efforts to implement change for the best.

Cons

There are some growing pains that have yet to be ironed out and more structure is needed at all levels of the company. But this is pretty much the norm with any new business.

Pros

Beautifully designed building and work environment. Great mission and a divine purpose to combat food disorders in all ages and races. High-level executives are constantly working and eagerly collaborating to develop new processes for the success of clients and employees. Employees come from a wide variety of demographics and backgrounds which promotes a business setting full of innovation, creativity, productivity, and the simplicity of awareness. There was never a time that I witnessed an issue brought to the executive's attention that wasn't handled in a timely, unbiased manner.

Cons

The cons are more so based on the temporary agency that staffed me, and the ignorance I personally possessed of what questions to ask and what the actual meaning of contract work means. I left a full-time job without knowing that the recruiter sold me a dream, but it resulted in a lot of insight and knowledge that I lacked before obtaining that position. I was disappointed in the lack of communication and lack of feedback I received from the organization itself, upon my early departure, on how I could improve and advance my career path moving forward. However, now understanding I was just a temp, I have accepted that investing that time would not be beneficial to the company and its just business. Looking back with the knowledge I now have, I regret focusing on being the best "guinea pig" for the other admin and not capitalizing on the opportunity to learn and network with the remarkable executives I was lucky enough to meet.

Pros

There are a lot of really amazing people that work here. The clients and their families definitely bring a lot of flavor to the mix. Veritas has a great mission and vision, and is one that I personally believe in. This is a very challenging population to work with, while also being one that is easy to care about. It's nice to have a job that provides a variety of snacks so you don't have to worry about skipping a meal if you forget lunch and are too busy to go get anything. You get to meet a lot of people and watch patients come back to life.

Cons

All disciplines are overworked and understaffed. It seems that it is more important to get heads in beds than it is to make sure patients and their families are receiving high quality and compassionate care. Supervisors can be very passive aggressive: perfect example is I recently asked for help because my current workload is completely unmanageable. My supervisor responded by throwing an additional 1/3 of my current workload on top of what I'm already unable to achieve. "Merit increases" were almost an insult. If the review score is equivalent to an A an employee should not be given a less than 1% increase, after having been employed for over a year! You have to constantly read between the lines of what is actually being said and what is meant. Management definitely plays favorites and does not assign patients in a balanced manner. Staff are stretched entirely too thin by having too many demands placed upon them, or having to juggle multiple roles. This struggle is not unique to one specific discipline. Managers that talk negatively about staff they supervise to other staff members they supervise. ZERO support from supervisors or leadership, at least for multiple disciplines. There is one particular member of the leadership team that actively tries to help when she sees someone struggling and follows through on her offers to help.

Pros

Great mission and work with those suffering from an eating disorder. Fun place to work with some great people, emphasis on the some!

Cons

Growth is very minimal. LOTS of nepotism. Unorganized and a significant lack of communication company-wide.

Pros

Great mission, dedicated fellow co-workers. Very good healthcare benefits.

Cons

Can be stressful due to nature of the behavioral health work.

Pros

Working for a great mission

Cons

Focus is on growth of company
