Pros

The pay is better than most companies in the same field, the hours and days given off because it is a school, able to see paystubs online

Cons

Main office is over an hour drive and they require/expect you to travel there to submit documents, no breaks, no true understanding or caring of being burned out, no lunch break, lack of teamwork in some classrooms, hadn’t been cleaned since before November 2021, encouraged to come into work sick , 80% of employees got Covid at least once, kids do not wear masks nor are they required to, lying amongst coworkers that put you in jeopardy, lack of follow through with veteran staff from supervisors,severely short staffed, lack of supplies for students, don’t follow their own rules, suggestions not taken into consideration (they hear you out but no actions)

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.
