Pros

good benefits package decent employee morale, because most people enjoy who they work with good relationships with individuals opportunities for promotion

Cons

unprofessional staff, all the way up to management biased management and HR complaints are not taken seriously horrible pay reports of abuse and mistreatment are not always taken seriously quick employee turnover, i'm guessing due to burnout

Pros

Working with the individuals is one of the most fulfilling and uplifting things in the world and almost cancels out the copious amounts of stress from everything else.

Cons

While working with the individuals is highly rewarding, the poor management and terrible coworkers drag everything else down. Every part of the management needs improvement, from the lower side being so disconnected to the needs of both employees and individuals to the higher ups treating this company like a business. The needs of the individual should be the number one priority, not how much your company is being funded because individuals are attending the day centers.
