Pros
The team environment and direct supervisors are the best part of the job! Working with developmentally disabled clients with behavioral issues can be challenging at times but you are able to feel supported as you gain this experience and confidence in responding to crisis situations. The flexible hours also allow for independence in setting your own schedule. It is wonderful to have a job with benefits that provides Clinical Supervision and interns earn hours toward Social Work or Marriage and Family licensure! CBEM also provides all employees with company iPhones and MacBook Laptops.
Cons
This job is not for everyone as it does require a crisis response and holding a 24/7 crisis hotline. The interviewers do a great job explaining the job; however, some employees "forget" what they signed up for and complain about doing the job duties. I worked alongside both the individuals who left the negative reviews and can confirm they were unwilling to be team players, complete the basic job duties, and did everything they could to avoid meeting with clients or do the work they were being paid for so I wouldn't put a lot of merit into what they wrote.
