Pros

There are no positives working for this horrible company except the satisfaction of knowing a patient has a successful outcome after treatment.

Cons

This company does not value it's hard working employees in any way. The CEO's only focus is on making money and will cheat staff, patients and insurers out of every penny possible. The company is at least 10 years behind in technology, has not embraced electronic medical records nor has upgraded software in years. Do not expect your cell phone or tablet to work here as service is poor and they have no wireless connections. The offices are drafty, desks and furniture and bathrooms are old and gross and the buildings need serious updating. Everyone has a space heater to keep warm. Upper management spends money opening new centers but doesn't invest in facilities, staff or salaries. Raises come once every few years and bonus are non existent. Any position here will step you backwards in your career path. I kept up my job search the first week of working here. Run, don't walk away from this employer!

Pros

You have less responsibility as an evening counselor in regards to therapeutic sessions. You get a lot of experience doing crisis work and helping folks avoid crisis. I really enjoyed the role in working with the patients in a less intense role.

Cons

There is no support from higher ups. We were chronically understaffed, to a scary degree. The patient's treatment team did not communicate well with evening staff, so we were left in the dark about a lot regarding patient care.
