Pros
Easy job in residential, almost no work. Despite needing a degree for this job, it's basically babysitting.
Cons
The residential site is so understaffed that you could very well end up working every single solitary holiday even when you request off far in advance. Staff at residential site is NOT supportive or helpful at all and will not cover shifts or make time off for anyone, even on holidays. Minimal effort is made to fill open positions, which would greatly reduce staffing issues. Company goes back on promises they made upon hire, like a raise after 3 months without any disciplinary actions on record. The company fires employees without warnings and often "cuts off the top" firing those who make the most money to save themselves some change. Clients are not cared for appropriately and are often left to sit in front of the television all day with nothing else to do. Employers do stretch the truth at job interviews, claiming you'll be doing therapeutic work with clients when in reality you'll be cooking, cleaning, and changing adult diapers. Job pays very little.
