Pros

Decent salary for MFT intern/ASW and benefits are good.

Cons

If you are looking to build clinical skills do not work at Pacific Clinics. As most reviews indicate, productivity is of paramount importance and the development of clinicians is last priority. Clinicians are over worked and spend so much time on DMH paperwork that very little time is spent on the actual treatment. You are expected to have 30-32 clients and this is not possible given that some client's require a lot of attention. Any agency that contracts with DMH has this type or similar work load, I've worked for other DMH contracted agencies, however, Pacific Clinics by far is the worst. I do not believe Pacific Clinics is vested in advancing behavioral healthcare, as their motto states, instead I believe they are more concerned with advancing their bottom line. I am gravely disappointed in Pacific Clinics and the lack of support & development they provide to clinicians, it is a horrible place to work and this is evidenced by the extremely high turnover.

Unrealistic productivity expectations, processes, and policies are constantly changing, frequent driving, and poor mileage reimbursement rates. Some programs are misleading about role responsibilities during the interview process.
