Vantaggi
There is relatively frequent turnover so if you don't have a supportive supervisor, the likelihood is that you'll get one sooner or later. Recent cost-of-living pay increases show that upper management recognizes that us peopns at the bottom exist
Svantaggi
The amount of clinical documentation required is ridiculous, encouraging clinicians to replace quality for quantity. Pay is so-so. Recent across-the-board pay hike is nice, considering it's the first time in 4 or 5 years. But when you see the kind of cars that upper management drive at this non-profit, it can be disheartening to those of us at the front lines of helping people. There's regular turnover so if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time you may have an inept manager/supervisor, or peers. The organization seems unwilling, like so many mental health agencies nowadays, and employers in general, to ignore the benefits that would be passed on to their customers if they valued their direct-service employees a bit more. Why upper management gets compensated so well and those providing the direct care are taken for granted is beyond me. But, the recent cost of living increase was something; at least they threw us that bone.
