Pros
They really encourage furthering education and provide amazing free trainings. I became certified in BCBT, Motivational Interviewing, and many others all at no cost to me, and I got paid to do it. I loved my team, I am still friends with many people I worked with, we also had team bonding days where we would do things like go to botanix garden or zoo. Community was great, and pay was pretty good for someone coming right out of college and no experience in mental health field. I also appreciated having my own schedule and with my supervisor, it felt I had some autonomy over my work. Every other Friday off. Great PTO.
Kontras
Working with high risk clients was very very draining. Personally, I got burnt out and that's why I left, I have heard alot has changed too since I have left, and not for the better. I didn't feel very protected against clients, it was difficult for me to establish boundaries on my own and it sometimes felt like I needed to just accept terrible treatment from them (Case managers would get threatening voicemails and text messages). Burnout is so high.
