Pros

Easy job in residential, almost no work. Despite needing a degree for this job, it's basically babysitting.

Cons

The residential site is so understaffed that you could very well end up working every single solitary holiday even when you request off far in advance. Staff at residential site is NOT supportive or helpful at all and will not cover shifts or make time off for anyone, even on holidays. Minimal effort is made to fill open positions, which would greatly reduce staffing issues. Company goes back on promises they made upon hire, like a raise after 3 months without any disciplinary actions on record. The company fires employees without warnings and often "cuts off the top" firing those who make the most money to save themselves some change. Clients are not cared for appropriately and are often left to sit in front of the television all day with nothing else to do. Employers do stretch the truth at job interviews, claiming you'll be doing therapeutic work with clients when in reality you'll be cooking, cleaning, and changing adult diapers. Job pays very little.

Pros

It seems so rare to have such a good experience at a job, especially community behavioral health. (so many horror stories) But this team was wonderful, honestly. I love the atmosphere; the employees are very friendly and helpful. My supervisor is kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The other therapists are awesome and add value to my own knowledge. Great job for any level of experience, but terrific for new LMSW's cutting their teeth. I'm moving on due to location and a pay bump, but I'd come back in a second if lived closer (and maybe after I get my LCSW). A good community of clients to work with too.

Cons

Wasn't a big fan of benefits confusions when moving from part time to full time, but if that's my complaint, it is small. Also, insurance is expensive if you need to cover spouse. Individual insurance cost is really good though. Fee for service is difficult when you are an LMSW and the insurance you can take is limited - no shows are a bit higher when there are no penalty fees, and fee for service means no pay if no-show. However, there were fewer no-shows than other community behavioral healthcare practices than others that I have worked for.

Pros

I am here for the people we serve; management doesn't typically micromanage. Pay is good and health insurance is good.

Cons

There are two sets of standards; there are Employees and Management. At this time, chimes has taken almost everything good from there people including 1 of our 2 work from home days but of course Management comes and goes at they please and work from home more than others and when asked why you get lies.
