Pros

The only pros I can think of are the relationships you form with your coworkers and only the coworkers you work side by side with because everyone else you can't trust.

Cons

Upper management! They don't give a damn about their employees they would rather work a person to the point where they are completely stressed out and barely able to function then try and help them. The sad thing is, is that they are a mental health facility, you would think they would put put there staffs well being above the bottom line. At the Jefferson School the only way you get ahead or not be abused by management is to either sleep with management or kiss their butt so much that will never have to wipe again.

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.
