Pros

Odyssey is a great opportunity for starting out. There is room for promotion if you prove yourself but pay for starting out is terrible. Wonderful co-workers mostly. Supportive management (somewhat) on a personal level, but not so much professional. Very family-like environment (at least at The Manor).

Cons

Pay is minimal, particularly for the work expected. The overall "system" is flawed, and you'll always be picking up someone else's workload. If they paid more, they'd invite more quality counselors that are invested in making change. The structure of the client program is flawed. There's minimal consequences or accountability for both staff and clients.

Pros

Within Odyssey House you learn how to communicate with your team and make your department stronger and more successful. We can all pitch ideas that get taken into consideration and possibly even improve our policies in place. There are projects that might seem challenging at first, however with the guidance provided by the supervisors/managers we're able to strive forward and achieve the results we need.

Cons

The cons for this position are having to rely on companies outside of the organization to receive funding, sometimes they aren't as quick responding as everyone else is.
