Pros

Great support from coworkers, you become close with those who you work with.

Cons

Ridiculous size caseload and unreachable goals. Productivity is set extremely high and staff members are forced to work 10 and 11 hour days just to come close. However close is not good enough. Supervisors aren't giving enough credit where credit is due, absolutely no encouragement unless you are somehow managing to meet productivity. The only way to meet productivity is to be unethical. Work hours are terrible, staff members must work 6 "non traditional hours" after 4:30. Staff are told not to do paperwork at home but are forced to anyway just to meet deadlines. Needless to say this company becomes your life, you will have no time for family or yourself. Child focus says they value self care and have made a mandatory self care day where you aren't allowed to work, however you must make arrangements to make up those lost hours in your already busy schedule.
