Pros

They will tell you that you can set your own hours, but give you clients who can only meet at odd hours and tell you that you must meet with them every week. Can be 6 AM or 7 PM. Pleasant office. Hours are flexible, be you may have a three hours gap in your schedule.

Cons

The Faribault office offered no support. The supervisors were tempermental and did not communicate well. Whenever asked questions, the supervisors offer rude responses and were too busy to bother with employees. Employees would give information that was trained differently in the main Owatonna office. Employees who had children on their caseload would often blame the parents even when the children had mental health problems.

Pros

Major pro is the culture. Very inviting. Staff care about how you are doing. A lot of check-ins. If staff don’t know answers to your questions they will help you find answers. Flexible scheduling works really well for a busy life but can be tricky at first. Supervisors are helpful and care. Staff have the same goals, very client focused.

Cons

Flexibility is hard right away. Different than a lot of other jobs. Meeting clients where they are at is a hard balance. Pay is lower than other agencies.

Pros

Flexible scheduling Good coworkers with lots of bonding opportunities. Weekly supervision Weekly meetings Lots of webinars and trainings you can get paid to attend.

Cons

Have to build your own schedule based on clients that are assigned to you, so might not get hours. Have to have a certain percentage of contact hours to office hours, which is near impossible if you’re not full time. People canceling goes against your percentage of hours and hours in general.
