Pros

Excellent pay, well-defined role as a group therapist, supports individuality and creativity in what you bring to the table, skilled, compassionate and professional coworkers

Cons

Big corporation, inconsistent culture/management between programs, very medical model (therapists often fall at the bottom of the totem pole, under social workers) I have worked on several of the area psychiatric units and have experienced variability unit-by-unit in terms of organization/flow/communication, advocacy/support /inclusion for therapy teams, and general culture. This is important to my work well-being so I have developed preferences for certain units. If My advice to any job seeker is to ask about this in the interviews, connect with an existing employee for an insider's perspective, and trust your instincts around "vibe."

Pros

(This is for Providence St Vincent Medical Center in PDX) - staffing ratios - break nurses - ONA union - coworkers on my unit are very helpful and kind (can’t speak for every unit though)

Cons

- upper management hates the nursing union - we are short on many supplies on weekend night shifts - crappy insurance - my unit’s manager is almost never there, they’re always on vacation or working remote. This makes our manager very out of touch with the unit’s needs
