Pros
Large and growing social work department. Interesting opportunities such as attending conferences Tuition reimbursement $2,300 Decent health benefits but cost increases every year good SW clinical experience Ability to obtain hours for LCSW Can work with limited permit until LMSW is obtained
Cons
If you look closely, institutional racism runs deeps. Outpatient social workers are mostly all of color and when jobs postings list "preferred spanish speaking." Most inpatient specialities med surg,etc are social workers who look a specific way. (not POC) No room for growth, the new incoming SW program coordinators are White and non spanish speaking and not promoted from within. Little room for growth or promotion. Lack of support for program coordinators
