Pros

- Get to work with challenging teenagers and have a varied schedule (everyday is different) - Have paid time off based on 12 month long school calendar. You get 25 days off in a year. - Compensated for snow days - Annual pay raise each June could be from 2% to 11% - Working with the students was rewarding and delightful

Cons

- No appreciation for EAs. Teachers from other programs tend to disrespect them as well. - Staff are immensely cliquey with each other - Majority of staff are rude and lackadaisical. Barely show interest in student's well being and never complete paperwork on time, which left competent staff to pick up their slack. - Staff incompetence is rampant and never punished by management - No opportunities for growth or professional development, nor any promotion of such - Ideas to management on improving the well being of our students is either ignored, denied, or agreed yet never enforced - Complaints never got resolved and got worse over time - Terrible parking

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.
