What don't you like about working at South Bay Mental Health?
"In most offices there are no on site supervisors so we fend for ourselves most of the time and if we make a mistake the higher ups make a federal case out of it. The pay for office staff is very low. Since the company has changed hands, the focus seems to be more on money and less on client care."

High turnover, no raises .."
