My experience with Go Behavioral was extremely negative. I genuinely enjoyed working with many of my coworkers and appreciated the people I worked alongside. Unfortunately, the problems with management and administration made the overall experience extremely frustrating.
Leadership frequently changed expectations, priorities, and deadlines, then held employees accountable for changes that were outside their control. Deadlines could be unrealistic, and employees were often expected to simply agree with management rather than feel comfortable speaking up or offering a different opinion.
Communication from management and administration was a major issue. Emails and requests would often go unanswered, sometimes for extended periods, even when the information, equipment, access, or resources being requested were necessary to complete the job. Employees were then expected to meet deadlines without being given the tools or information needed to do so. This created unnecessary stress and made it difficult to perform the job effectively.
I also experienced and witnessed communication from leadership that felt extremely disrespectful, including situations where staff were yelled at. This created an uncomfortable work environment and made employees hesitant to raise concerns.
Company policies and expectations also seemed inconsistent. There were situations where the employee handbook did not appear to match how things were actually handled. Expectations could change depending on the situation or who was making the decision.
Job security was another major concern. Employees could be let go with little warning or explanation, including employees who had performed well and were considered valuable members of the team. In my experience, the explanation given was based on "company needs," without a meaningful explanation of why that particular employee was selected. There did not appear to be any clear performance-related reason or prior indication that the employee's position was at risk. This made employment feel extremely uncertain, regardless of how well someone performed.
There were also expectations to work outside scheduled hours, which raised concerns about how employee time was being treated.
The people I worked with were one of the few positive parts of my experience. I enjoyed my coworkers and valued the relationships I built with them. Unfortunately, poor communication, inconsistent management, lack of resources, changing expectations, and the way employees were treated ultimately overshadowed those positive experiences.
I would encourage anyone considering employment here to ask detailed questions about management, communication, overtime, scheduling, resources, job security, and how company policies are actually enforced before accepting a position. read more
