Pros

If you’re looking for a job, you’ll get one because of the constant turn-around. The hours have changed so it’s regular 8hr shifts.

Cons

Terrible place to work at. I have never felt so alone in all my job responsibilities and trying to figure out my own job description. First week on the job, and I had staff members turn their back because I had to figure things out on my own. Even then, when I expressed my concerns to management, they basically told me do what you want as if I knew what I was doing in the first place. The job description given to me compares to absolutely nothing that I have been doing for the past few months. I have seen several staff members leave in the last month, I lost count. If it wasn’t for my current search for a different position, I would’ve already quit.

Pros

This is a good organization to work at if you have no experience and just coming out of college and need "experience". You will definitely get the experience you are looking for with at the responsibilities you will be given that are somehow part of your job because in the description of your job duties there will be the statement "and other duties assigned".

Cons

There is no organization within any of the programs. There is no leadership, you are on your own. Management does not care about your career goals or developing you. They will put a lot of pressure on you and try to pay you minimal. It is extremely difficult to get a raise. It does not matter how hard you work because that does not mean anything, you will not get rewarded for it. You are going to be on your own because there is a lack of management and leadership. There is no sense of community in this organization. If you get on the wrong side of management prepare to quit, because they will pressure you to quit.

I don't think making a blanket statement about the organizations of any of the programs is appropriate. I don't know when you worked for FSA but we have been able to give pay increases the past two years and we are always looking at the budgets to see if we can provide increases. As far as training goes we are definitely looking at that in our mental health programs. We have plenty of training available and we need to make sure that is being conveyed to staff.

Pros

When you do well they applaud your performance, don;t expect a raise or anything but they do show their appreciation.

Cons

There is a definite culture of favoritism and I truly hope you never see yourself on the wrong side of that as it can be a very unhealthy work environment.
