Pluspunten
- Some teams were great - Some supervisors were really good - Loved the clients!! - Paid overtime in hourly roles (a negative is that salaried is exempt from overtime) and usually discouraged to work more than 40 hours unless absolutely necessary
Minpunten
- Lots of unsupportive direct and higher level management - Horribly low pay - Absolute horror stories from other teams about their managers - No flexibility with remote or working from home unless you wanna do unpaid overtime - Accrued PTO/sick so if you run out you just have to take unpaid leave and sometimes they don't properly keep track of your PTO - Giant unmanageable caseloads - Severe lack of integration of diversity training, lots of microaggressions - High turnover makes these problems obvious - Burnout is essentially your problem. Zero plan from management for how to deal with this, they just tell you to do self care. - If career growth is important to you, it's nonexistent unless you stay for years - Working in mental health is generally challenging, so without supports in place, working here is incredibly difficult A lot of these things aren't unusual for community mental health, unfortunately. This is pretty standard for the field.
