Pros

Quitting this job was a positive

Cons

Dangerous, low staff, lack of structure and accountability, constantly changing rules and not following COVID safe practices with groups nor how the residents ate. Residents were denied basic rights (seeing doctor, psychiatrist, legal representation, etc). Working for business that has it hands in prisons, re-entry and ICE was a huge con as it showed in everyday way business was run. Passing blame abounds and most facilities cannot keep staff so it's chaotic mess always.

Pros

You're able to learn a lot about what the job offers. Always something new, which is good for the position.

Cons

A lot of the things that needed to be fixed were beyond your control, and working with corporates, sometimes you have to fight for what you want.
