Pros

Clinical staff enjoy some flexibility of schedule. Some in supervisory positions are supportive and experienced.

Cons

Some jobs are described as "35 hours per week" -- don't believe it -- figure on a minimum of 45 hrs to do all that is required! There is a "productivity" quota to meet and mountains of required paperwork and mandatory meetings. The hours are very long for clinical staff, the pay is very low. Benefits are not great. The health insurance does not even cover one day surgeries!! No raise the past year and premiums went up for health/dental. 3% match on retirement savings was dropped. Constant IT problems to frustrate you. Parking is problematic at times. Individuals who worked hard their whole career at the agency have been "walked out the door" due to "budget" problems. Climate control problems in the building. Clinical staff pay for their own training, licensure fees and exams for licensure.

Pros

Supportive, encouraging, overall great team.

Cons

The biggest con in my opinion is the fact that we have expectations to meet, and unfortunately we deal with the mental health sector. So there are often a lot of call outs with short notice and we're still expected to make up those hours which can be very tough with our clientele. The company does offer 24 hours of optional employee training, which does help with expectations and is useful considering we need to recertify personal training certificates etc. But I've had a week where I've had seven to eight cancellations. So in theory you could run out of training hours relatively quick depending on cancellations. And the final con is that if you are low on expectation, you have to use PTO to make up the Lost appointment time. If you can't fill it with other clients. Which I think is fair if a client cancels with 24 hours or more, but a lot of cancellations are just before the appointment starts. So you don't really have time to look on the cancellation list because you're usually working with a client when you get the cancellation.
