HOPE Program (CA) Reviews

- Some may find the demographic difficult to work with. - Schedule can feel intense at times, especially if needing to cover for another therapist. - Working alongside 3rd party organizations can prove difficult and frustrating when you may not agree with the way those parties want you to work with their clients. - This is a personal issue but the 10-hour shifts did not work well for me. Being in an office for 10 hours (not including the mandatory 1-hour lunch) severely made me burn out from the position. Management worked with me to change my schedule which was great but otherwise it was very difficult to maintain.

Adjusting to the four 10-hour workdays took some adjusting to. A three-day weekend is a perk, but you may find yourself contemplating a five-day work week, which the company does offer, so not a con but something to consider before taking the job.
