Pros

The work you put in at ACH makes you feel like you are making a difference in the children's lives and their family. Coworkers were some of the best people I have ever worked with, and most felt the same way about the job. Benefits are decent, since when you get hurt you get treated on the job. Meet a lot of people and make connections.

Cons

Pay is not competitive, not worth the work you put in at times. Unfortunately, management and administration seem to have forgotten what the company is about and run ACH like a corporation. More focused on innovation instead of quality of care and safety of staff.
