Pros

If you are just starting out on your psych, social work, or teaching career, it’s a good place to gain experience with flexibility and understanding.

Cons

The pay should be improved for core staff members and administrative roles could be chosen with more consideration to the team as a whole, including those being asked to step into them.

Pros

- Coworkers will literally take a punch to the face for you - the direct care staff are lovely and the only reason people aren't fleeing in droves - Successful interventions and outcomes with clients can be very rewarding - sometimes you get paid to go the beach and do other fun activities

Cons

- frequent assault of staff by clients with minimal organizational response - lack of communication - high rate of burnout among direct care staff without only lip service from the organization about "self-care" within an organizational culture that prevents self-care - outdated facilities that are frequently being damaged by clients with minimal response from maintenance - low pay and hours that aren't conducive to work-life balance - low staff retention and no real rewards for sticking it out - primary and secondary trauma - clinicians stretched too thin to be present in milieu to run groups - etc.
