Pros

The paid time off was decent. They provide a lot of swag (shirts and jackets).

Cons

The leadership is disgusting at Helio Health (formerly SBH). The CEO dictates EVERYTHING and doesn't take advise or criticism well. Most of the c-level employees are grossly unqualified and promoted based on who they know. Anyone notice the President/CEO and CMO are married? Is that not a conflict of interest? Consistently understaffed and under supported.

The information in this post is inaccurate and misleading. The Helio Health Executive Leadership Team is comprised of individuals who, combined, have hundreds of years of experience in overseeing and providing administrative support to programs who treat substance use disorders, mental health disorders, and other health issues. It is neither inappropriate nor illegal for two highly talented and qualified people who happen to be married to work together. Helio Health has processes in place to safeguard against the risk of a potential or perceived conflicts of interest, and follows these processes consistently. Any questions regarding these processes should be referred to Helio Health Human Resources by calling (315) 474-5506.

Pros

CAs can make up to 20$ an hour, though I only knew one woman who had been there for 9 years who made just 19/hour. When you leave, you remember the people in admissions you connected with on their way in and then you watch them come to life or come back to their personality in this sober mindset. You can help bring in clothes and speakers from AA and HA meetings and invite patients to come attend meetings. You can make up activities for all to do. You can show movies in the cafeteria area. Lots of fun coworkers, some drama is always at-hand to be discussed

Cons

Supervisors listen nicely, then do nothing about violent patients, patients who make threats, sometimes you beg and beg for more staff to be on a shift with you that's so overwhelming but they just can't find anyone. One nurse would be on a overnight instead of two nurses and a CA.
