      Pros

      It's a job. If you focus on the kids and not making friends it's rewarding

      Cons

      It's like high school. Gossip. People out for themselves and get others in trouble. Most Supervisors could care less. There are like 3 who are worth working for. Unless you're a favorite don't bother, only the people the Director likes move up/on (same goes for the supervisors). Again HIGH SCHOOL POPULARITY CONTEST!

      Ignore fake reviews. Notice how they are written exactly the same.

      Pros

      Steady (but low) paycheck. Quick hiring process. There are some longstanding employees, but they are not necessarily happy employees.

      Cons

      VERY POOR MANAGEMENT/ LEADERSHIP. You get paid badly, treated lbadly, the money this organization has never actually reaches the kids it's supposed to help, and leadership is just plain awful. Management isn't much better but it's not really their fault, they get paid horribly as well.

      Pros

      - Coworkers will literally take a punch to the face for you - the direct care staff are lovely and the only reason people aren't fleeing in droves - Successful interventions and outcomes with clients can be very rewarding - sometimes you get paid to go the beach and do other fun activities

      Cons

      - frequent assault of staff by clients with minimal organizational response - lack of communication - high rate of burnout among direct care staff without only lip service from the organization about "self-care" within an organizational culture that prevents self-care - outdated facilities that are frequently being damaged by clients with minimal response from maintenance - low pay and hours that aren't conducive to work-life balance - low staff retention and no real rewards for sticking it out - primary and secondary trauma - clinicians stretched too thin to be present in milieu to run groups - etc.
