Good luck on career growth

Pros

Good schedule. Was able to still work full time while going to college. I worked there for five years, both in residential and day treatment.

Cons

Oh could I go on for days. Good luck moving up the career ladder, as they only promote the ones they favor or are family members. Why would a day treatment manager have a sports management degree? Because he's a family member. As I was approaching my second degree in psychology, a graduate degree at that, I was turned down for around 5 or 6 higher-level positions. Once was because "I was over qualified" or "I'd be bored". Then the person they actually hired was well under qualified. I often got in trouble for speaking my mind about the issues and borderline abuse I saw of the actual clients. Constant exploiting of them, as well as verbal abuse. Management did not care. The company covers up everything and the drama is ridiculous. It is not about the clients, it's about what makes the most money and helps the company look good. Don't believe the lies and deceit.

Pros

Good hours, variety of work environments, friendly coworkers and good clients.

Cons

Long-distance driving worksites, female vocational director is ridiculous, pay is horrible, you get no recognition for the good things you do only the bad. Management believes everything they hear and management is to judge mental.

Pros

Small company atmosphere. There is a genuine concern for the dignity of their patients. Clinicians are professional and well educated. SOME management have integrity and are dedicated to the quality and care of clients and treat the people, including employees, with respect and dignity.

Cons

There are managers intimidate, bully, do not get involved when needed, are obstacles and focused on their own personal agendas. There is an expectation that the salary you hire in at will be the salary you will work for while taking on additional responsibilities or initiatives that are large in nature. Some salaries are set salaries, especially hourly employees, but salaried employees - make sure that you negotiate aggressively because there isn't a good sense of monetary reward for your expertise.
