Some job sites are better managed than others. Some populations of clients are very challenging, leading to burn out, frequent turn-over, and difficulties maintaining supervision due to call outs/injuries/allegations

Pros

- generous benefits - the work is both rewarding and easy. You won't dread going to work every day here - you can literally wear sweatpants and slippers to work - there is a unit which will be able to suit pretty much any temperament you may have - lots of opportunities to move up in the organization - it's almost like getting paid to spend time with family

Cons

- you can't even pull out your phone to check the time - it can get extremely hectic and stressful - you may encounter extremely horrible things like rape/violence, and they stick with you - you will probably get assaulted at least once - you'll have to deal with bodily fluids

You have to love the job

Pros

I like working at Woods because I love what I do. I enjoy working with kids with special needs, I like being in the school, and I am lucky to have great coworkers. I am interested in a career as a behavior therapist so my position as a teacher's aide at Woods is a great stepping stone for me.

Cons

As much as I love my job, I wish I got paid more for the hard work that I do. The wage is low when you consider everything a direct care staff has to do and put up with throughout the day. The wages are low because one only needs to have a high school degree, but I think people with only a high school degree are not experienced enough to do well at this job. There are a lot of staff who are at Woods just to have a job and not because they care about our clients. I hate that because I care a lot and it's frustrating to see people mistreat our clients because they're lazy or paying more attention to their cell phones instead of to the kids.
