Of course, my position has changed many times in these companies over the years, and there were times that I was not happy (most notably 3 years ago for 3-5 years with my current employer), but I hung in there, and I am glad I did. 3 years my program had an overhaul and things have been much, much less stressful. I hung in there due to the quality benefits I have, but I was close to the end of my rope with that.

Are there other people here who stay/have stayed at their jobs because they have good benefits (insurance, retirement, etc)?

Yes sometimes I feel that’s why I stay. The benefits are the best I’ve had so far. But I figured when I’m ready I could find something else. THEN they went and gave a pretty hefty raise. Sooooo..... now it would be much harder to match it all. I hate the long drive on the Congested roads and the feeling I don’t have enough free time among some other things. But it could be much worse so I try to be happy with it all.

I finally scored a job not using a staffing agency.

Autozone is taking a chance on me and hired me as sales/driver. With potential to further my training to become maim driver, etc.

I have worked at the same mental health agency since February 2011. I started as a clinical supervisor, then was promoted to clinical director, then program director, then director of quality management then four months ago I was promoted to the Director of Clinical Operations. My work focuses on Division Outcomes, data analysis, research, and evidence-based practices. I am also an adjunct professor for a college in the area and I am working on my dissertation for my Ph.D in social work. I just hired a company to start the credentialing process to become part of insurance panels for private practice.
