Pros

Some really great therapists work here and they become a wonderful support system. The location in great too.

Cons

This is for the ERC/Insight Chicago location: No work/life balance. You must have good boundaries to survive here or else you will be working around the clock and be in constant burnout. Unfortunately, they thrive off new graduates who don't know what a "normal" agency looks like and are taken advantage of as they try to prove themselves. The overall environment is very toxic, with unstable senior management that criticize and attack rather than support you. This creates a culture of fear and being constantly on edge that you are going to get in trouble. You will not leave this job the same person you were when you started. The ethics of senior management is questionable; you are often pushed to place clients into intense treatment even if it's not appropriate. Also, supervision and support from superiors is seriously lacking. The ultimate irony = you will be working at an eating disorder facility but will be not have enough time in a day to eat lunch.

Pros

-The floor staff (nurses, MCs/BHCs) and clinicians (therapists, doctors) are often great. -The pay is decent for entry-level work. -The patients are amazing. -The therapeutic programming seems pretty solid as they attract great people (they just can't keep them!).

Cons

-Management wants you to come out of a cookie cutter and have no opinion of your own, which might be doable if they had any level of actual on-the-job training (no, training classes you can do on your own time don't count) or even if they had a comprehensive orientation process. -They dangle opportunities for advancement in front of you when you interview but then don't actually want to promote you when the time comes. -Trainings needed BEFORE working with patients are offered AFTER 2-3 months on the job (bloodborne pathogens, CPR, CPI). -Management offers only vague negative feedback instead of specific do-more-of-this praise or less-of-this critiques. And they'll give you condescending feedback with a big smile. -Management is usually unavailable or unresponsive. -Leadership is opaque--with both staff and patients. -Hard work is not acknowledged or rewarded, so morale is low.

Pros

Staff is great; everyone is young, which is a great environment to promote learning (especially for new graduates); lots of opportunities for on-the-job training

Cons

The pay is not competitive with other hospitals, work-life balance is difficult to maintain when managers are constantly asking you to work overtime due to high turnover
