Genesee/Orleans Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (GCASA) is very pleased to announce that it has been named one of the "Best Companies to Work for in New York State" for 2019 for the second year in a row.

It’s funny what money can buy. If you have to proclaim you are the best company to work for, then maybe it isn’t true. “Amazing employees”. There are amazing employees that work there but none of their voices get heard because of the narcissistic leaders, or leader. This organization should stop trying to check all of the boxes ang get back to actually serving its community in a useful and meaningful way. Unfortunately this won’t happen with someone at the top who likes to hear himself speak, and only employs “yes-men” as directors.
