Rewarding, fun, meaningful role
serving meals, interacting with clients who are struggling with various barriers, low barrier, harm reduction provided at coast helps lower the risks of deaths and the stigma that comes along with everything else, employees at various sites are given the chance to run programs that let them use their unique, individual skills.
management at Coast Mental Health is supportive, understanding, and provides opportunities for growth.
every job has their stressful moments, but working for Coast you have the support of your team and the background knowledge to overcome the stressors of the day/ situation.
in my opinion, the most exciting part of the job would be the various connections, knowledge and experience you

Alright
Job Culture is nice, higher paying than most non profit organizations, good sense of fulfillment in your job duties. The job becomes tedious and management are horrible, but co-workers are great.
Pros
higher pay than most, lots of work, benefits are provided by company
Cons
management dont care about their staff
Could be an amazing organization, but it is not.
Toxic leader in housing division is causing harm, fear and intimidation to subordinates. Culture is low, engagement is low. Organization does amazingly rewarding work and it's mission and vision is not in line with what is actually taking place in the front lines in the residential program. Other programs and divisions are managed much better and its people are much happier. Not sure why such bully gets to stay there for so long when multiple reports and exit interviews reported their unethical behaviors.
Pros

Poorly managed organization with toxic culture
