      Relief Counselor

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can work as many or as little hours you want as long as you keep your 24 hour a month minimun It looks great on your resume You can easily pick up hours the day of the shift. Most of the houses have a staff snacks drawer. If you work for the year long programs, it is not as bad as the ADUs. If you pick up a shift within 12 hours of it starting, you get Premium Pay, and you also can get Overtime Pay If you work enough hours in the month, you will be eligible for Medical and Dental insurance It is easy to transition from a Relief Counselor to a Full Time Counselor

      Cons

      Relief Counselors make SF minimun wage = $15 Some houses, like ADUs, can be hectic Some staff members can be difficult to work with Some clients can also be more challenging than others

      Meaninful work, crappy computers

      Residential counselor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -You get to help people which is pretty cool -You get a TON of PTO, even your first year, especially considering this is an entry-level position -You work in a small-ish team which can be pretty cool if you all get along (or a nightmare if you don't) -You're schedule will be weird, but usually in a good way. You'll probably have a 3-day weekend every week. -Overtime and holiday pay is a thing you can get if you want extra hours.

      Cons

      -You work in a small-ish team which can be a nightmare if you don't all get along -You help people, but sometimes there are tragedies along the way, and they rarely say thank you (which is strangely important to some people) -Your schedule is weird, and you might work weekends -The computer system is TERRIBLE and you will spend far too much of your time yelling at the computers because they go down frequently. You need high frustration tolerance for this job. -Lots of writing. Like... so much writing. -They WAY underpay the relief counselors, so they're a huge amount of turnover, which often means inconsistent client care and difficulty getting time off sometimes.

      Nowhere to Go

      Mental health specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of great experience...you get more responsibility with less education than anywhere else in mental health. Basically well managed.

      Cons

      Lots of challenges with clients. Be prepared to learn about yourself, or don't work there. In other companies there is room for growth for dedicated employees...not so here. MFT and LCSW are the only steps forward.
