    Overall positive - would recommend
    The good thingsBrilliant CEO, for the most part the area I worked in had a functional, non-toxic team with people who were focused on doing good work with their clients.
    The challengesRenumeration could have been better, internal training was only as good as the staff employed. Management were a bit lax with toxic staff and that proved to affect the team and the effectiveness and focus of higher management.

    Sounded so good but turned out to be horrible!
    The good thingsFeeling like you are making a difference in the lives of recovering addicts was great.
    The challengesThe glossy front page one gets in the interview process doesn't reflect the amount of rubbish one has to put up with for the honour of working in a therapeutic community.
