Pros

It is hard to say, none for me.

Cons

Dangerous situation all around. Consistant errors with meds, eventually, soneone is going to be seriously ill. Residents assaulting other residents and staff. At least 3xs a week police intervention - who then refise to help/support. I was threatened and never taken seriously, told, it's the job. When a resident attempted to swing (and missed), I gave my notice. They are just showing these, already out of control kids, there are no consequences.
