Pros

Great vacation time, pay 100% of your health insurance (but not family members). Coworkers are great and really want to do what's best for the youth and families.

Cons

This organization is not going in a good direction. Lots of favoritism was evident on supervisor/management toward the employees as well as clients. I witnessed a lot of decisions made that pretty much were made based on whether or not management liked the employee or client, not on what was best clinically for the client. Supervisors don't seem to be knowledgeable, and did not have much to offer in terms of guidance around tough clinical/legal issues. Many employees are overworked. Employee rights are not respected (for instance, hourly employees not being given their breaks). The new CFO is a huge penny pincher and you have to fight to get things reimbursed (even if it was a necessary job expense). Also, as much as they say they offer training, they do not offer training, and when they do, it's not very good. Most people feel like they are just thrown into chaos without being prepared. Only the ones who are naturally good at this manage to make it through and not be fired/quit. No real support to build your skills. When I started working here, there were a lot of people who had been working there for at least a decade. By the time I left, there was very high turnover with many people lasting less than a year before quitting, and many of the long-timers had left as well.
