Pros

Flexible scheduling once you get your caseload established. Able to work independently and part of a team. Supportive coworkers.

Cons

TOXIC Leadership. Leadership often looks at staff as the problem and are unsupportive overall. The agency appears to care far more about their financial bottom line than helping their clients. Ethics can also be merely a suggestion. Pay is poor compared to local standards, and they expect you to work long hours/weeks due to their staffing issues (i.e., taking in more clients than feasibly possible for $). Work more for less pay and less appreciation. If you advocate for yourself or your clients, but it does not favor the agency, they will probably fire you (based on coworker report). You are seen as disposable here. Supervisors preach an open door policy. being able to “living in the gray”, but will reprimand you if they do not agree with you. Client communication/transparency is extremely lacking.

Pros

Major pro is the culture. Very inviting. Staff care about how you are doing. A lot of check-ins. If staff don’t know answers to your questions they will help you find answers. Flexible scheduling works really well for a busy life but can be tricky at first. Supervisors are helpful and care. Staff have the same goals, very client focused.

Cons

Flexibility is hard right away. Different than a lot of other jobs. Meeting clients where they are at is a hard balance. Pay is lower than other agencies.
