Pros

paid 15min breaks; long(ish) lunch break.

Cons

Drama. The company doesn't care about you. Your managers don't care about you-- they don't have the capacity to care. Everyone is overworked and underpaid. There's a lot of favoritism and cliques. They never reward the good workers and never punish the bad workers (especially if they're a social favorite) and don't have protections in place for workers who experience harassment or assault. I quit next a worker was allowed to scream at and berate his co-workers and sexually harass the female workers, and nothing was done until he made threats to everyone's health and safety. But I was threatened with potential termination when I called in because I didn't want to be subject to said harassment. It broke my trust in the company. They also threatened to write me up for discussing my wages (illegal) because they weren't giving raises to their senior employees, but were giving raises to their teenaged highschool employees by virtue of being children of other favored workers. And by coincidence the senior members who were denied wages (and called angry and bitter and the reason we couldn't discuss wages) were elderly black ladies, and the teenagers were white. Maybe there was no correlation, but it seemed convenient. Additionally, there was a trans worker who was repeatedly misgendered and deadnamed by one of the managers. Overall, just not a great place. Drama and favoritism and they will work you to the bone for pennies.

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

Pros

Great impact on the community

Cons

Terrible salary and hourly pay rates. They claim they care about the community, but don't do anything for their own people to make sure they're taken care of and paid fairly.
