Pros

There is a lot of freedom to get out of the house. Company likes staff to be out (not so much when it's colder) Go to the mall, the park. Pretty much anywhere if it's legal. The company recommends you don't take them home but staff take them home. Can be easy depending on the house you get, the client's and the supervisor. Money is passable could be more and OT is available if you know the right people.

Cons

Lack of communication between staff and other staff as well as staff and upper management. Lack of direction and management. Supervisors are very hands off unless they need you. << that's a pro and a con. There can be a lot of tension between staff. A lot of talking behind the back, rumors and just high school type behavior. Tons of misconduct and long time employees tend to get special treatment. Favoritism. Client abuse. Redundant documentation.

Pros

The mission of the organization is meaningful, and hiring managers genuinely value quality candidates and strong placements. The work can be rewarding when the focus is on making thoughtful hires that truly support vulnerable individuals. Team members care deeply about doing the right thing and producing strong, long-term results.

Cons

Under new management, recruiting has shifted to a numbers-driven model where metrics far outweigh quality, outcomes, and human impact. Recruiters are now responsible for interviewing and decision-making while simultaneously being held to significantly higher, rigid goals that do not account for location based candidate flow or program differences. Time is spent submitting phone screens and documenting nonviable candidates purely to satisfy metrics instead of actively sourcing strong applicants. Being discouraged from cherry-picking candidates, despite hiring for roles supporting vulnerable populations is concerning and demoralizing. This approach reduces efficiency, negatively impacts candidate experience, and has contributed to burnout and low morale. The system feels misaligned with the mission and set up for failure.
