Pros

The only reason why I gave DESC two stars instead of one star is because its a great place to get your foot in the door to start a career in the mental health field and the Paid Time Off (PTO) is AWESOME.

Cons

The great staff, including supervisors don't stay long because its a foot in the door agency. You top out salary wise at the end of five years. If you don't want a revolving door then pay more. I understand that its "all about funding resources" but topping out only after five years just sucks.

Pros

Pay and benefits are great, a lot of pto.

Cons

Not a great company for POC in leadership roles. You will also receive very little support from higher ups, and must manage heavy emotionally taxing days with KPIS.
