Pros

Any position within the company comes with a lot of autonomy and not many real responsibilities or consequences. In many ways, it’s an easy paycheck—especially for someone who isn’t deeply invested in the work. However, if you truly care about helping people and want to feel that your efforts matter, this structure can feel frustrating and misaligned with your values.

Cons

There is a significant lack of transparency starting as early as the initial interview process. Leadership is highly ineffective, contributing to ongoing health, safety, and regulatory violations. The organization is almost always under investigation by the state, yet meaningful corrective action never seems to occur. The work environment is not conducive to growth—especially for employees with genuine talent or ambition. Overall, the facility has operated below basic professional, regulatory, and safety standards for years, and it’s difficult to understand how it has remained open this long.
