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.

Pros

Sheppard Pratt is a great place to gain experience working with the mental health population, they have a diverse population to work with including at ages. The staff is easy to work with and there is never a dull day.

Cons

The lady in charge of volunteers and interns is not always the best person to go to for any problems or issues.
