Pros

The people in my program were awesome. I miss working wih them. They were passionate about what they do. Plus, my supervisors were very easy going and I looked forward to seeing them at weekly meetings.

Cons

I worked as a front desk floater for several months. I went to several offices and no one who worked in administration work would interact with me. On top of that, the clinicians treated me pretty horribly. One I moved to a clinical roll, admin people were kind to me. I worked in a community based program, which can be pretty dangerous, and was paid pennies. The higher ups care more about numbers than the people who work for them or the clients. While I was there I was not able to put my kids on medical because it would be about a third of my monthly income. For an organization that says "life works when you get the support you need" they don't seem to care about supporting their people.

Pros

The closest thing to a “pro” on my list is the amount of agency holidays one can take off.

Cons

There are plenty: Being encouraged to put in 10-11 hours, 5 days a week, because “that’s just how it is”; Being constantly reminded of how low your productivity is while also struggling to keep up with documentation and client needs; Procedures are either totally unclear or quickly changing with little regard for staff input; turnover is so high and constant that entire teams are unfamiliar with procedures & policies; Clients who are clearly not engaging in services are kept on caseloads for the sake of “productivity”; all-staff meetings are either used by staff to (rightfully) share grievances or by leadership to guilt trip staff into complaining less; job expectation flexibility is practically non-existent; burn out is regarded as a personal issue rather than emblematic of systematic issues with expectations; a huge lack of trauma informed care, language, and policies (both towards clients and clinicians); a lack of support with supervision… the list goes on.
