Pros
Very rewarding working with individuals and their families.
Cons
Overworked / Under paid. The people we supported used to have "choices"... some of these choices were staff that worked at their house, roommates that lifted their house, and outings and vacations. A lot of these choices have been taken away due to the fact that they lost a large amount of quality, seniority staff. They now employ very young adults who are only there for a paycheck. There were people that gave their heart and soul to the agency and we're just extinguished when they try to voice their opinion.
