Pros

Great teamwork across departments. Ability to laugh at the terrible. Department heads worked together for decades to create a livable experience for employees.

Cons

There was a lot of terrible. Cleaning up all sorts of things from the homeless, from drugs to bodily fluids to thawed fish found under pillows. Having to smell the drugs being smoked in the bathroom would leave me with headaches for the rest of the day. Employees were fired for confronting the homeless.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
