Pros

It you love to be a sheep and a cookie cutter mold of a worker and agree with everything your team and supervisor says then this is the place for you.

Cons

You are in dangerous situations on a daily basis and if you voice that you are uncomfortable with a client, your safety is not number one; the client is. If you voice your opinion or a creative idea you will be shot down immediately and even possibly written up for disrespect of your superiors. You are expected to do more than you humanly are capable of and if you are unable to accomplish such, you will be reprimanded and as a result your job becomes harder. The whole GCB is top employer thing is definitely a lie and I am pretty sure the people rating on here are the very few who love their job.

Pros

Strong workflow and structure: Day-to-day operations run smoothly, which allows me to focus on quality work rather than constant crisis management. Behind-the-scenes impact: I truly enjoy the analytical and administrative side of counseling. Reviewing reports, researching client data, and supporting treatment planning is fulfilling and allows me to contribute to client success in a different but important way. Team support and collaboration: I assist my team in managing client services and helping clients make informed, effective choices toward recovery. Welcoming work environment: Staff at CRC have been friendly and inclusive, and I’ve enjoyed building relationships with new coworkers. Private office space: Having my own office has been a major benefit and supports productivity and focus. Work-life balance tradeoff: While the hours are long, having a half day on Fridays helps balance the schedule.

Cons

High counselor-to-client ratio: Counselors are carrying very large caseloads, which contributes to burnout and makes it difficult for staff to prioritize their own mental health and wellness. Leadership transitions: Switching supervisors can be difficult. While transitions have been somewhat rocky, they have been manageable overall.
