Pros

It's a good stepping stone for other positions in the social work field and serves as a good filter to determine whether you're cut out for the field.

Cons

Employees are not valued and they are expected to dedicate 100% of their time to working there. You often work holidays, get stuck overnight, work 24 hours straight, etc. It is a very stressful environment and there is a severe lack of work-life balance. Management expects the world from you for little pay. The compensation is not worth the stress. Management also does not listen to their employees' concerns and moves forward with policies without their input.

Pros

Definitely got some hands on experience working in mental health field. Learned exactly what I do NOT want from a job, which is actually a valuable lesson.

Cons

Job was dangerous at some points, and safety of staff was not considered. Upper management did not believe in praise, was distrustful, and did not properly train staff or provide supervision that was needed resulting in undertrained staff and tension. Staff would be blamed for scenarios that we were not trained to handle and forced to sign memos taking responsibility for events that happened at risk of losing our job. Staff's personal life not respected. Underpaid, overworked- often forced to work 24 hour shifts at no notice. Schedule switched around without notice. Really just a company that does not care about it's staff, and makes no attempt to help staff deal with burnout, secondary trauma, and other difficulties of job.

Pros

Good stepping stone, learn a lot very quickly about who you are as a person and your abilities when working with a difficult population.

Cons

Very under appreciated by higher up people. Expect the world from you with very little in return. Felt like I was being judged (negatively) constantly, made it difficult to make decisions when they were needed
