Pros

Great atmosphere, nice supports, great benefits, industry leader, diversity committee, emphasis on community integration, good management, strong financially sound, respectable work environment

Cons

I can't think of any cons besides usual stuff people complain about in human services. Unavoidable -the pay is never enough but that is a state budget issue not the company's fault.
