Pros

Accept the offer and be strategic. Focus on what you’re trying to get from them: extra money for savings, gaining experience, an income for applying to financial services, supervision for your license, etc. Just like when someone plans to leave an abusive relationship, develop an exit plan. Good benefits, especially the health insurance you’ll use for the mental health services you will have to seek.

Cons

If you’re a robot, the following won’t apply to you. At least one person who trained with me didn’t make it past the first week. I was told that it’s normal/acceptable for employees to work outside their schedule. IT’S NOT. You will deal with people of privilege, and employees who for reasons unknown end up in management positions. You’ll deal with entitlement, abusive and condescending language, and other behavior typical of inexperienced brats and older people used to decades without work-life balance. If you’re not strategic and focus on the money and other benefits, you will jeopardize your mental health while providing mental health services. Just play the submissive game if you really need this job, and do not stop looking for another one in the meantime. HR, just like in many companies, will protect the company before they protect their employee.

Pros

Helping my regular clients that really needed the help

Cons

Too many. The supervisor is a super micromanager, you can do everything right but at the end of the day if you don’t get an unrealistic 80% show rate you get chastised and threatened with your job because everyone knows you can make Medicaid patients all show to every session magically right? Especially since the bottom line is everything to these schmucks. I can’t believe how degrading they are to their core front line staff. The unrealistic expectations and fake smiles and personalities in the admin and management really make you want to vomit. I can’t believe I made it a year, I guess I thought they would change but they are a complete joke. Micromanaging is just the tip of the iceberg too! They have like 7 spreadsheets you have to fill out weekly, explaining why you had a shorter than 53 min session (this went on for months, they silently took it away which blows me) so yeah expect to overdocument needless information to try to look good for no good reason, just to make your managers look good I’m guessing? Which is also hilarious. Not to mention thy expect you to do hour long biopsychosocials on every patient regardless of if they want just medication management or therapy, you get an endless slew of clients no matter how many you have on your caseload (I was up to 53 at one point). The benefits are a JOKE. Low pay and no appreciation just always: do more, get people to show up 80% of the time or you’re gonna get fired. I suggest all LSWs to RUN in the other direction from this company, unless you enjoy mean/fake girls dictating to you all the time how you don’t do enough.
