Awful and unethical company - Mental Health Clinician Effective School Solutions Employee Review

Pros

Paid time off in the summer and receiving health benefits

Cons

This company pretends to care about the employees and the children in the schools but it's all a front. This company only cares about the money they receive from the schools and they will say and do ANYTHING to make sure they keep their contracts with the school district, even if it's at the expense of their employees. You think you'll be providing therapy and helping kids who are struggling in school but all this company cares about is providing "numbers" to the school districts which isn't even an accurate depiction of the success of the kids' mental health. Supervisors literally tell you to bribe the students with food so that they will get good grades. I would never recommend anyone to work here

Pros

-Great work/life balance with school schedule -administration cares about their employees and listens to their needs by doing check ins and surveys, and they follow through. -networking and collaboration with other clinicians throughout different states -clinical supervision is available for hours -supervisors are extremely helpful and do not have issues getting in contact when an emergent need arises

Cons

I cannot think of any at this time.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for your thoughtful feedback. We’re so glad to hear that your role as a Lead Clinician has been rewarding. It’s wonderful to know that the work/life balance, accessible supervision, collaborative culture, and leadership support have made a positive impact. We’re especially glad that our check-ins and surveys feel meaningful and that you’ve seen follow-through on what matters most. Thank you for all that you do for your students and for being a valued part of the ESS team.

Pros

Decent pay and school schedule plus full time pay over the summer is definitely a pro. You get to make a difference.

Cons

It is a toxic work environment. Lack of communication. Lack of care for workers. Everything is for the numbers. Will do anything to protect and to save contracts at all cost even if it means sabotaging you. Many in supervision and RD positions fail to uphold obligations and undermine efforts. Not so good place to get hours for licensure.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the work you did for our students and schools. We take feedback like this seriously, and we're sorry to hear your time with us didn't reflect the environment we work hard to build. We know this work is demanding, and we don't underestimate what our field-based staff carry day to day. At the same time, we stand behind our commitment to our people. Supporting our teams and maintaining the contracts that allow us to serve students consistently aren't competing priorities for us, they go hand in hand. Every organization has moments where communication or support doesn't land the way it should, and we're always looking to improve. We do have several channels in place for this kind of feedback from regular surveys, HR, and direct support through supervision, and we'd genuinely encourage anyone with concerns to use them while they're still with us, so we have the chance to understand and address what's happening in real time. We wish you well in your next chapter, and we're grateful for the contributions you made while you were here.
