Pros

You get to work with the patients with no medical background. Great benefits, and you do get tuition assistance. When working with the patients when there sick, you get to watch them get better. Then you know you had a part in helping them, its gratifying.

Cons

Some staff do nothing!! Then when you do your work, they get mad at you and try to make you look bad. Some workers have no psych background, so they don't know what there doing. The patients can accuse you of doing something bad, and staff believes them. Regular hospital gossip, so watch what you say. No room for advancement, and a big turnover.

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.
