Pros

-Nice co-workers, when you actually get to see them. -3 weeks PTO, starts after only 3 months working.

Cons

-The Lebanon branch's Coordinator is very passive-aggressive. She rewards "rats" who report everything to each other and gives certain people clients of their choosing and not others, which is not supposed to happen. -No raises, no chance of advancement. -Travel and Progress notes only paid minimum wage -NEVER enough hours. I rarely worked over 30 as a flexible full-time staff.
