Pros

Generally fun co-workers, very youthful. Definitely not boring as you travel throughout the county a lot and meet clients all over the place. Caseloads keep it interesting. Overall a fun place to work if you can afford to live on a poverty level salary. I'm amazed I worked there for just a tad over 2 years.

Cons

Very low pay. Base salary for a Job Coach (Supported Employment Specialist) in 2011 was $27,000 a year (I negotiated $33k). Can't live on that. Also, company is comprised mostly of social worker types, which is expected given it's a mental health agency; however, it's often not an effective way to attack job search. They don't have a solid grasp on business (which a job coach needs).

Pros

Honestly, none that comes to mind. I worked with peers on my team (very few) that I'm still friends with years after leaving, so I guess that's one pro. We bonded over our exacerbation towards the ineffective and immoral organization.

Cons

-Pay is so low it's insulting. -Preach self care but expect you to do a 60 hour work week worth of paperwork in 40 hours. Will not pay overtime and prohibit weekend work so everyone ends up doing all of their admin work in a Word doc on the weekends then copy and pasting it on Monday morning. If you do not get the work done you will face termination. -You will be asked to do unethical things such as increase visits with clients even when they are not necessary just so they can bill for additional services. You will get multiple emails saying you saw X person 4 times try to get to 6, even when the client doesn't need to be seen and the point of the program is to get them to a point of independence. -If management likes you they will be more lenient, even if you are not clinically competent. If your supervisor does not like you, you don't stand much of a chance. -There are no checks and balances with middle and upper management. Your supervisor reviews you and their supervisor reviews them but does not bother to ask employees they are managing about their efficacy as a supervisor. -If you come in with experience they will do what they can to dumb you down.

Pros

Great place to work if one if one is just there to gain experience. Great relationships with clients and coworkers. Lots of time driving on the road from residence to residence. Excellent opportunities for supervision, earning a license, and continued education and training.

Cons

Very heavy workload. Need more coworkers to lighten the workload. Not enough time to spend with clients to help them meet their goals. The hourly wage is insufficient for the amount of work needed to complete paperwork, billings, and treatment plans.
