Pros

Great company to work for. They provide lots of training and support for their employees and there is an overall feeling of respect and working together to achieve a common goal.

Cons

Since it is a non-profit organization, the pay is not as great as you would find in a for-profit organization.

Very fun but temporary job

Pros

Very fun, rewarding, great for a student in the field of psychology, social work, nursing, etc. I learned so much here that I will never forget. It has been an invaluable experience to me. I love the patient population on the unit I work on and I appreciate getting the chance to be exposed to patient populations on other units as well. It is rewarding to see them grow and heal every day. Working with the kids is especially fun, the staff try our best to make every day fun for them even with the limited resources we have. For PRNs, the schedule is so flexible which is perfect for students. I can literally work as much or as little as I want. Some months I work basically full-time hours, some months I only come in once a week.

Cons

No room for growth, I worked there for 4 years, received my masters degree and my counseling license yet they would not hire me in any of the numerous positions I applied for. Patients can be aggressive and dangerous. You can get hurt. Chronically understaffed. They constantly hire new people but the retention rate is horrible, people quit before they even complete their orientation. The quality of staff they hire is low, because they do not require a Bachelors degree or a CNA like other facilities. Only a high school diploma and no experience because they are cheap and don't want to have to pay people any money. So there are so many low quality, unprofessional staff that walk through those doors. They only care about having a body there. The upper management are always trying to do mental gymnastics trying to figure out how to fix the understaffing problem, when the only answer is to simply pay people more money. When we are understaffed, the units are even more unsafe than they have to be. I have seen so many people get hurt badly in situations that would be able to be controlled pretty easily if we had enough staff. The CEO has blood on his hands
