Pros
The salary for social workers are on the higher pay end. Some of the staff members are nice. The patient experience is a plus, you will gain a lot of face to face experience. You will learn a lot of discharge planning and how to perform multiple jobs. I will say I'm stronger professionally due to my short span employed at this place. You will value the education and class you're accustomed to, and hold on to both tightly.
Cons
High school-like environment. The case management department is interesting to say the least. You will have changing job description which you will learn randomly throughout your time there. You will not be notified of ALL meetings in a professional manner, some will be held on your absence on purpose to plot against you. The environment was extremely toxic and hostile after a few months. There is no union for social workers so you're basically left to sink or swim. Should you manage to swim, false accusations will flourish to Anchor you down regardless. It's truly setup for failure. I would advise any social worker to proceed with caution. I did not receive any clinical supervision as there was no clinical supervisor to provide it. Based on my experience, clinical workers work well with clinical direction. I did not receive anything close here. Watch your back and document EVERYTHING!! Be prepared to tolerate a lot, late nights, unreasonable work expectations, you will earn every dollar of your 'salaried' income. Social workers are pretty much extinct here and trust me it's for a good reason. Advice: Trust no one here!!
