Pros

I like working here because the people that work here generally want to work here and enjoy working here. There is an honest effort to do your best work just for the sake of doing your best work. There seems to be a much lower level of corporate culture (though there is some). Pay seems to be at or above average and merit is quickly recognized and rewarded. There are some limitations on how quickly you can change positions, but this is mainly to make sure you are not constantly being trained for a new post. It is a large enough facility that you can move to other departments if something is not working. Managerial leadership seems to be some of the best I have experienced. As I said before the staff here want to do good work so managers just let staff do what they are good at.

Cons

Some people would say there is a stigma attached to working at a mental health centre, but personally I feel like it is a point of pride.... There is really very little not to like in my experience... if you can get a job here take the job. I have had more vacation days else where, but theirs are pretty standard amounts. I only mention them because they are average at a place where nothing else is. They are a bit picky about sick days too.

Pros

Flexibility, working in an environment where education, compassion and intelligence are encouraged. Some of the best human beings on the plant work for CAMH and I was proud to be a member of this organization. The work CAMH does has meaning and influence on a daily basis. This is an organization which surpasses the standards it sets for itself, and provides a level of care not matched anywhere else in mental health. CAMH is simply an extraordinary organization with wonderful clients and employees.

Cons

Oscassional vicarious traumas, shift work, lack of advancement unless you complete a significant level of education (e.g. If you have not completed a PhD your opportunities can be limited in certian fields).
