Pros

Overtime opportunities are basically unlimited, every day is a new adventure and the work is very rewarding. The kids are a lot of fun! Growth opportunities are also available quickly if you're a good employee and communicate your desires.

Cons

Low hourly pay. Plenty of training on job duties and workplace expectations, but not a lot around how to actual improve the mental health of clients (MHS aren't hired or trained to be mental health SPECIALISTS. Mostly just direct supervision and managing activities.) Huge disconnect between administration and direct care workers, it's like two different organizations. Communication is very bureaucratic as well.
