Pros

Went into this job with high expectations, expecting it to be an opportunity to change people’s lives, realised very quickly that wasn’t possible. Every idea was shut down and ignored. Witnessed bullying that again was dismissed. Poor practice and forms of neglect that shouldn’t have happened. Being put in situations that you felt you had no voice or choice in. Constantly having work added to you that you hadn’t even been shown how to do fully. Towards the end it got that bad you weren’t sure if you’d have to stay over night or not due to lack of staff and the fact the rotas were never completed to full capacity. Just to clarify I have now started a better job which pays extra for more responsibility. I genuinely feel sorry for the people who have to live at these premises because quite frankly it needs shutting down.

Cons

Everything I have to say is above.
