Horrible agency to work for
Counselor (Former Employee), Conway, SC – April 6, 2013
Pros: made great friends
Cons: management staff, micro-managed, expectations.
This was the worst agency i have worked for during my professional career. Management is run by sorority sisters who have each others backs but not yours. There was absolutely no support from immediate supervisor, she had incredibly negative mood swings. She would berate staff in front of others. She would come in and not even say good morning to anyone....no – more... exaggeration. Very hostile work environment. Everyone always felt like they had to walk on eggshells. Most new hires are looking for other work within 3 months. The expectations for goals are unattainable and unrealistic for even the most professional and dedicated. No staff member has ever reached the agency expectations. The agency cares more about their numbers than they do their clients. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS AGENCY TO EVEN MY WORST ENEMY. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. – less

Enjoyed working here, however, pay was abysmal.
Illustrator (Former Employee), West Columbia, SC – October 10, 2012
Pros: excellent working conditions, co-workers were great, ample time off.
Cons: pay scale with the state was almost insulting
Employed as Graphic Artist / Illustrator for the Production Center at the Central Office of Technical Education. Duties here were well within my capabilities which included sign painting even though it wasn't part of the job description. My co-workers were all outstanding to work with. Everybody just got along so well. the hardest part of this job was – more... having no choice but to put up with really low pay. At the time my salary was only around $9000 / year. The best part was the leeway I was given to accomplish the assigned tasks. Duties usually were producing visual aids, display boards or paste-up for published articles which were sent to our printing facility.Terminated this job in favor of overseas opportunities. – less

Pros: 1-2 days a week, ; 6-8 hrs each, was 16 miles oneway from my house;, i really enjoyed my supervisor, peers and the clients
Cons: the pay
I averaged 8-12 outpt mentally ill clients daily; assessments, eval, medication monitoring and adjustment with Physician's concurrence. I learned clients are consistent with their treatment plan; if one is able to educate them at their level of understanding of the cause, effect and consequences. Management was highly supportive of me and I felt like – more... I was part of a well oiled team. The hardest part of the job was visitiing my clients in the detention center; evaluating them, and administering their overdue meds (which exasberated the situation requiring arrest. The most enjoyable part of my job were my clients visible getting better, complying with their medication regime and able to return to their maximum optimum wellness. – less
