Pros

The students, Residents and my team

Cons

Where do I start, Sheppard Pratt from the top is a toxic culture good old boys club. Always short staff to the point that puts your safety at risk. Sheppard Pratt admit the most aggressive dangerous Residents. Staff are attack and assaulted daily and if you get hurt doing your job. They will kick you to the curb in a heartbeat. They will lie right in your face and ignore you when ask for support. I would never recommend no one to Sheppard Pratt. People that have value and respect for people are leaving that toxic negative company.

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.
