Pros

Good job starting out if interested in the mental health field

Cons

Current supervisor at the Elkridge location enables questionable ethical practices among social workers, such as deleting some parts of an discharge summary as to avoid compromising the hospital. she also is too focused on planning her future vacations instead of managing the constant bullying from certain colleagues and overall lack of support as an supervise. Only opportunities for growth is to supervise interns or do some of the supervisor’s tasks when she’s working at the center of eating disorders in towson. Also, some units are actually breaking OHCQ by allowing patients in the nurses station and barely doing groups. Current supervisor is clearly burnt out and devoid of empathy because the money from being manager of two different locations is worth it if it means there’s a lack of investment towards her supervises. As a result, supervision is poor because there’s no manager to refer to if there are any questions or issues in person.

Pros

Core values- but lack of integrity so I guess that’s not a pro. Huh. Coworkers are top-notch. Pay is ok but not worth the stress and lack of support from “team leaders”

Cons

Lying supervisors demonstrating no capacity for empathy and only professional concerns are passing audits while actually doing as little as possible for the population they serve. I want to believe they’re just burnt out and their hearts used to be in the right places.
