Pros
If you are working in human services because you have a genuine desire to help people get their lives back then this is a great place to work. There are some of the most kind and compassionate people who work here and really want to help make a difference in the clients lives. Vacation and retirement packages are decent and there are opportunities to learn a lot through the different trainings that are offered.
Cons
Constant changes that happen within the company that are never discussed with the staff that are being effected by them. Lack of proper training and resources to effectively do your job. Poor communication between departments which leads to confusion and chaos which is noticeable to the clients. The company says that they want to help one client at a time and claim to stand behind their mission statement but when it comes down to it they serve the almighty dollar. They make allowances for clients who have money but the ones who really want the help but don't have the funds have to jump through hoops to get it. It's unfortunate because for the prices they expect for these clients to come up with are unrealistic and most walk away feeling they should just continue using because it will probably cost them less. It's sad because what a lot of the leaders forget or dont even think about is thayvwe are dealing with human beings. Living, breathing people who have kids and husbands and wives and the reality is that they might walk out our doors and die. All because they couldn't come up with enouyyygh money to get the help they need y know thayt there is enough funding to go around. People need to remember why they decided to work in this field or find some other line of work that doesn't have such severe consequences for poor leadership and basis lack of concern for human lives, drug addict or not.
