Pros

Nothing positive. Insular groupthink and hierarchy has created a dysfunctional, bleak work environment clogged with redundancy, meaningless circular process development and planning.

Cons

Highly racist, dysfunctional and in-group/ out-group organization with an Executive committee comprised of non-innovators who are uninformed about their landscape for business development in profoundly fundamental ways. So many individuals in leadership treated me like I was a brown worker on their plantation. People who made checklists for work with minimal knowledge or relevant skill were placed over me after complaining and backstabbing me because they wanted the job. The place is an absolute $#!t show. I’ve worked in bad places but those places seemed like spas after working there. If you’re black, run! If you have energy, creativity, vision, run! This place is really awful.

Pros

Good job starting out if interested in the mental health field

Cons

Current supervisor at the Elkridge location enables questionable ethical practices among social workers, such as deleting some parts of an discharge summary as to avoid compromising the hospital. she also is too focused on planning her future vacations instead of managing the constant bullying from certain colleagues and overall lack of support as an supervise. Only opportunities for growth is to supervise interns or do some of the supervisor’s tasks when she’s working at the center of eating disorders in towson. Also, some units are actually breaking OHCQ by allowing patients in the nurses station and barely doing groups. Current supervisor is clearly burnt out and devoid of empathy because the money from being manager of two different locations is worth it if it means there’s a lack of investment towards her supervises. As a result, supervision is poor because there’s no manager to refer to if there are any questions or issues in person.
