Pros

-great coworkers -sense of community -experienced staff, dedicated admin, consultation is extremely helpful with both

Cons

-taking clients beyond scope of care -80+ clients and a lot experience SPMI -the disconnect, unresponsiveness, and outright gaslighting from upper management -ethics equates to "at least we're here" when there are multiple other organizations that will take OHP, value clinicians, and provide adequate support to clients -burnout is high, position becomes ongoing crisis management due to infrequency of sessions -nonexistent licensure supervision, or it's existent and problematic cultural competency wise

Pros

Get to work with clients who need your help and coworkers who are caring even though they leave quickly. Pay just starting to be competitive, although reevaluated right before a rate increase for OHP mental health services, so that might take years to catch up.

Cons

I was expected to take more clients than one clinician can reasonably manage, and then expected to keep taking more. I couldn't see clients often enough to establish a quality therapeutic alliance, so it made me less effective. I wasn't provided supervision for licensure and the money available for outside supervision is a joke, but if you think about it, who benefits from the clinicians never getting full licensure... Lots of other places will hire associates and provide quality mentorship as you work towards a full license! And they do it without overloading new clinicians with clients and no time to complete paperwork. Please, find somewhere you will thrive not simply survive!
