Pros

-Starting therapy job; you can get a good amount of clinical hours under your belt.

Cons

- Lack of support - Lack of professionalism - High expectations for a 40 hour work week only to be deemed as the reason you can't get the work done without using time at home to do it (and no appreciation for doing it) - Everyone has areas for improvement, but approach this the RIGHT way - No work/life balance - Suggestions to management are met with nothing more than you leaving feeling as if you're the problem and feeling as if you should be ashamed for complaining - You fear bringing up concerns to management out of fear of retaliation - Suicide protocols are not appropriately followed for high-risk clients - Training is nonexistent pretty much - 40 hours of videos are insufficient and inconsiderate of a range of individual learning styles - When you reach out for support, you are met with feeling ashamed and as if you are simply too incompetent and/or inefficient to carry out the job - This place prefers those who are willing to be used and too scared to not be vocal and advocate for themselves. - "Get in line, or get out."

Pros

The clients are wonderful and most of my co-workers were excellent, committed caring people. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure the clients were safe and felt supported in their journey. Meals are also provided, which can sort of be a plus.

Cons

Management is a disaster. Inappropriate comments are often made about employees' clothing and personal eating habits under the guise of "professionalism". There is no formal policy about self-disclosure which leaves everyone in a murky middle space. Facility Managers and Counselors alike are underpaid and overworked, leaving everyone stretched to their limit. The facility only has a nurse on staff for 4 hours/day and there is no overnight nurse and only one overnight counselor. The facility does not have an AED which is especially nerve-wracking when everyone is at such cardiac risk. The training is minimal and not paid. Vacation time is technically acrued, but never given. Employees are expected to work themselves to the bone all for the sake of the clients, which helps no one in the end.
