Pros

Opportunities to help clients make changes

Cons

Upper management provides minimal support and you are expected to have no work/life balance. Working upwards of 60-70 hrs per week, 24/7 on-call duties with minimal compensation, and constant shortage of staff. Overall disorganization and the company prefers to funnel it's money into whatever new and trendy organizational model comes along as opposed to using money to increase wages or training for staff. Upper management is very much a clique and unprofessional - regular gossiping and backstabbing and throwing others under the bus to save their own skin. There is an overall lack of investment in their clients and the front line staff. Upper management has regularly covered up regulatory violations and not reported things that are mandated. Truly a chaotic and disgraceful place to work.

Pros

A foot in the door for human services. Somewhat flexible schedule. Affecting change in the clients' lives can be rewarding if you enjoy this type of work.

Cons

This is a somewhat decent job for those just entering the field of human services. If you need some experience, keep it for about 6 months and move on. One of the primary cons to this company/position is that they blatantly break labor laws with regard to wage and hour statutes. You will not be paid for your travel time or documentation time and, instead, these hours will be accrued in your PTO total. The whole of the time I worked there I kept track of these specific hours and never received any compensation (at the billable or non-billable rate) for them. If they are willing to so flagrantly violate these basic statutes, then what other ethical, moral, or legal violations are occurring. The high turnover rate should have been a clear indicator of their general lack of respect for employees, but they lure you in with a somewhat attractive rate ($14/hour for TSS). Also, while working with the clients was rewarding, those tangential to these individuals (teachers, parents, etc.) can be abrasive and intransigent, making your job even harder.
