I loved the people I got to work directly with! I felt supported by my coworkers and by a few of the supervisors I had over the years. Frontline staff truly care for their clients and I regularly saw advocates and other staff go above and beyond to support their clients.

For as long as I was employed, management tended to make the work environment very difficult on top of being an already emotional and draining field. Leadership overall did not provide effective or appropriate supervision or support and there was a huge emphasis on discipline, write ups, and termination as a management style as opposed to problem solving and constructive criticism. I was never made to feel like an important or valued team member.
