Business outlook

Pros

Salary was decent. Good opportunities for training. Included supervision. Supportive co-workers. Excellent PTO. Good health care and retirement benefits.

Cons

Caseload consistently over 60 high acuity clients at a time. Management does not care about employees or clients. Management always seemed to find more to add to the workload, seemed like policies and expectations were constantly changing.

Pros

Fairly competitive pay, mostly great individual people, not a bad place to figure out what community mental health is like

Cons

Absent supervision/management, company is run like a car company (their ethos is literally borrowed from Toyota), zero self-care allowed (employees encouraged not to take breaks or lunch), poor benefits and fewer holidays and PTO than all jobs I've worked before, insane caseloads, cutting corners at the expense of workers, certain clinics get preferential treatment (ex: professional development offered at some but not all locations), focus is always on productivity (quantity over quality), some micro-management going on, very little power to control your caseload or schedule, massive turnover and burn-out, they do not provide gender-affirming care
