Pros

Working with kids who have the same behaviors as myself when I was a kid makes this job a bit easier for me. The good days are great but like a blue moon come once in a while.

Cons

Lots of verbal abuse from clients. There are times where you get physically harmed by the clients. Not to scare anyone but it happens more often than not.

Pros

Flexible scheduling, which allows for better balance between school, work, and personal priorities. Supportive team environment where staff members serve as a valuable source of connection and decompression in a high-pressure setting. Highly rewarding work for those who are passionate about the population served and intentional about self-care to prevent burnout. Opportunities for continuing education through AWARE’s tuition assistance programs, with a commitment to remain with the organization for a set period post-graduation. Clear potential for professional growth within the organization. Comprehensive health insurance benefits.

Cons

The administrative workload is extremely high, often limiting the time available to provide meaningful, direct support to clients. The work is emotionally demanding and requires strong self-regulation and coping skills to remain effective and grounded throughout the day. At times, the compensation does not feel commensurate with the level of skill, emotional labor, and responsibility required to perform the role effectively—particularly when ensuring client safety, co-regulation, and sustained emotional support.
