Noble mission, terrible leadership - Anonymous employee Erikson Institute Employee Review

Benefits are wonderful including medical insurance and PTO

Stress fue to financial health of different projects

Working at Erikson was an incredibly fulfilling experience. The ability to make a positive impact on the lives of children and their families was deeply rewarding, and I felt a strong sense of appreciation from both clients and colleagues. My supervisor and teammates were supportive and dedicated, creating a collaborative environment that fostered professional growth and camaraderie.

My experience at Erikson was marred by significant issues at the executive level. It became apparent that the leadership lacked the necessary skills to effectively manage a non-profit organization. This mismanagement led to financial instability, which ultimately placed undue pressure on staff members to compensate for decisions made higher up. As a result, the stress on front-line workers increased, and it detracted from the primary mission of providing quality care.
