Pros

One of the few last psychiatric hosptials you can work at in this country. A place of history going back to the mid 1800's

Cons

Medical insurance plans are quite poor considering this is a medical hospital!!!!! Pay is below average. Management seems to consist of a tightly knitt group of people with their friends/relatives none of which are qualified to perform any type of work let alone management. If you are not in the "club" you will find yourself in a rut and might as well leave.

Pros

Good job starting out if interested in the mental health field

Cons

Current supervisor at the Elkridge location enables questionable ethical practices among social workers, such as deleting some parts of an discharge summary as to avoid compromising the hospital. she also is too focused on planning her future vacations instead of managing the constant bullying from certain colleagues and overall lack of support as an supervise. Only opportunities for growth is to supervise interns or do some of the supervisor’s tasks when she’s working at the center of eating disorders in towson. Also, some units are actually breaking OHCQ by allowing patients in the nurses station and barely doing groups. Current supervisor is clearly burnt out and devoid of empathy because the money from being manager of two different locations is worth it if it means there’s a lack of investment towards her supervises. As a result, supervision is poor because there’s no manager to refer to if there are any questions or issues in person.
