Pros

Flexible Schedule No experience needed Paid sleep shifts

Cons

Not enough training on disabilities. Anyone can work there by the age of 18, and I feel a lack of knowledge on disabled people feeds ableist ideology and behavior into caring for these clients. My manager was not doing proper training, and was basically trained to act as an adult baby-sitter instead of someone trying to help foster independence and reach goals with clients.

Pros

This job has allowed me to grow and take on a leadership position and push me out of my comfort zone. This job also makes it incredibly easy to go to school. I work 50 hours a week and I go to school full time and it's not overwhelming.

Cons

I don't think the pay is high enough for the work that is required. I also feel as if I am not being paid correctly. Pay stubs are always super fishy to me they never add up. I have had issues with not being paid for my hours worked in the past. I also feel as if management does not really believe or care about staff in certain positions. I think they take on clients that belong in a more restricted care center with more experienced staff members. This job has taken a huge mental toll on me in the last year. They also make it seem a lot better than it is. You don't get reimbursed for every activity you do and you only get up to $10. Millage is reimbursed and placed on your paycheck so you're getting taxed from it and I don't think that's okay.
