Pros

Flexibility at times. Okay health benefits & the security of one of the largest employers in the St. Louis area.

Cons

Constantly changing policies that even management doesn't fully know & understand. This job is basically a community social work gig where mentally ill adults are the patients or clients as they are called here. Also, the department of mental health (dmh) contracts out to BJC bh for their needs so funding comes from dmh & therefore anything dmh says, goes regardless of circumstances.

Pros

Education CAN be paid for, but you are locked into a contract and cannot switch positions

Cons

Raises mean nothing. 53 cents is unlivable. incredibly demanding job. Always short staffed so you are doing 2 - 4 peoples worth of work. Constant training that needs to be done every 3 months.
