Pros
Great exposure to marginalized populations to learn how the system works for clients and as an employee
Cons
-Supervisors are not qualified to do the job, rarely showed up to the work site, scheduled meetings, or any supervision meetings. Only reactive when their lack of involvement was reported to their supervisors, and that reaction was to fault the employees or demean them (called an employee "uncoachable" for asking for policy clarification) . Also lied to employees about various work tasks and then routinely became aggressive, hostile, disrespectful without cause. -HR is NOT CONFIDENTIAL. HR and whatever outside supervisor you speak to will notify your supervisor and whomever else they have a personal relationship with but not address your need or even appropriately engage with you ( they say HR has a ticketing system, HR clearly does not use this system). -Upper management does not coach/supervisor/oversee their supervisors they put in place -Retaliatory actions perpetrated against employees- despite the handbook outlining what behaviors are not allowed and would have action steps for, nothing ever happens and the supervisors continue to harass the employees in the work space -lack of CULTURAL COMPETENCE OR CARE. Staff, mostly upper management, has no idea of the experiences for the population they are serving and ask for things of them that are not to help them get their education, which is what they "claim" to do.
