Pros

Nice facilities in most locations. Many enormously dedicated colleagues Winter holiday bonuses Tuition reimbursement (for study related to your present position)

Cons

These apply only to school-based staff: Allowed only 5 personal / sick days each year -- and management acts like this is doing you a generous favor! Longevity not valued: new hires with same credentials will be paid more than you. No committee structure to schools. Teachers kept "professionally isolated." Admin concerned with school census over quality. High turn-over in staff (not good for students w/ special needs) If you're injured by a student, Workers' Comp (which has offices on-site at SP Towson HQ?) may resemble the Spanish Inquisition. Administrators may not be terribly supportive, either. Directors are happy to tell staff how easily they can be replaced.

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.
