      Business Outlook

      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

      Love my coworkers, issues with staffing

      Mental health worker
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Love the patients, love my coworkers, love getting up and going to work every day -- very challenging and rewarding place to work, and for an entry level position just out of college, it was perfect for me. Now that I am returning to school to become a medical doctor, however, the hours are not manageable with my school schedule and supervisors are reluctant to work out a fixed schedule for school.

      Cons

      Hospital is perpetually understaffed; people come and go very quickly (high turnover rate among staff); frequent mandation, so I end up working 60+ hours per week when I was hired for 40; also, the pay feels too low for the amount of work we do...we are part of nursing staff and so are in constant contact with patients, providing support and mediation, crisis intervention and positive reinforcement; we run groups, etc. Our pay is between $21,000 and $25,000 a year, though. It is an entry-level position so we are discouraged from taking sick days; if you don't have PTO you have to go without pay for that day. Also they don't really care if you have family emergencies -- you will be fired if you choose to leave in such circumstances. Also, not much room for growth.
