HSA is good, pay is low, no overnight differential - Relief Counselor Progress Foundation Employee Review

4.0

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Usually not high pressure unless you are in an ADL filled with acute patients. The clients can be amazing, most are formerly homeless and have SUD issues. Much of your time will be spent either administering medications or making "progress reports" to document interventions so that the institution gets paid by medical. Health Savings Account (HSA) is good. Union is Teamsters.

Cons

Pay is close to minimum wage for SF. No differential for overnight shifts. Depending on where and with whom you work, it could be less difficult than day shift. Union isn't very helpful in my experience.

Pros

Coworkers are great people to work with.

Cons

I feel like it is unethical to treat the most vulnerable clients in the community with our level of care and licensing. I think it's unfair for both the workers and the clients and puts a lot of undue stress on everyone.
