Pros

Wonderful clients-they really make the job rewarding and keep shift-work interesting and engaging. Flexible hours/schedules with shift work.

Cons

The pay. Direct service doesn't pay, and while Out & About has a high initial hourly wage, it doesn't really increase. There's little incentive to put in 100%, as shift activities can be mismanaged/underplanned.

Pros

Passionate coworkers who genuinely care about the people they support. Flexible work schedule for some roles. Creative freedom in certain positions to design impactful programming. Strong focus on inclusion and serving individuals with developmental disabilities.

Cons

Lack of communication and transparency from leadership. Decisions impacting departments are often made without input from the people doing the work. Frequent organizational changes without clear direction can leave staff feeling unsettled. Pay is not competitive for the cost of living in Colorado, especially for frontline staff. Over-reliance on a small number of employees to carry heavy workloads.
