Pros

Rewarding work. The staff is wonderful to work with and all the Youth and Family Counselors are obviously not there for the paycheck and very clearly are there for the goal of helping the kids.

Cons

Often Understaffed and very stressful environment. Very often you do not feel as though you are compensated well enough for the demands of the job. You are almost guaranteed to get compassion fatigue in this job.
