Pros
Helping my regular clients that really needed the help
Cons
Too many. The supervisor is a super micromanager, you can do everything right but at the end of the day if you don’t get an unrealistic 80% show rate you get chastised and threatened with your job because everyone knows you can make Medicaid patients all show to every session magically right? Especially since the bottom line is everything to these schmucks. I can’t believe how degrading they are to their core front line staff. The unrealistic expectations and fake smiles and personalities in the admin and management really make you want to vomit. I can’t believe I made it a year, I guess I thought they would change but they are a complete joke. Micromanaging is just the tip of the iceberg too! They have like 7 spreadsheets you have to fill out weekly, explaining why you had a shorter than 53 min session (this went on for months, they silently took it away which blows me) so yeah expect to overdocument needless information to try to look good for no good reason, just to make your managers look good I’m guessing? Which is also hilarious. Not to mention thy expect you to do hour long biopsychosocials on every patient regardless of if they want just medication management or therapy, you get an endless slew of clients no matter how many you have on your caseload (I was up to 53 at one point). The benefits are a JOKE. Low pay and no appreciation just always: do more, get people to show up 80% of the time or you’re gonna get fired. I suggest all LSWs to RUN in the other direction from this company, unless you enjoy mean/fake girls dictating to you all the time how you don’t do enough.
