Pros

consistent. dependable. some nice people. a chance to help others (sometimes).

Cons

clientele is extremely unmotivated, bordering on hostile. Ancillary staff is also unmotivated. Working in Corrections, there is a conflict between Corrections goals and Treatment Counseling goals. I won't go back. Very large case load.

Pros

CC Uses cutting-edge Technologies, which is good experience for resume building; many of the Teams are collaborative; interesting work and you can believe in company goals.

Cons

Director and Manager level mgmt at corporate here do not provide guidance on projects. There is a lot of turnover on data projects because new employees are thrown into the deep end and then just blamed if results are not as expected. CC really needs more hands-on project oversight. There are also behavioral and anger issues with a couple long-time ppl as well, and this is both exhausting and (sometimes) outright humiliating. They need to treat new people better.
