Pros

Vista Maria has a great mission that is set to help at-risk youth. The leadership is committed to finding ways to fund additional programs that will wrap around the clients and their families and reach out to more youth that are not being served. The people are great and are dedicated to the "Vista Maria Difference"

Cons

Resources are limited, which means many are stretched thin, juggling many responsibilities. Lower priority items tend to get pushed to the side with higher priority items taken care of. The result is that there is a continual urgency to get things done, because eventually the lower priority items escalate and become critical.

Pros

Vista Maria has been in the business of caring for families since 1883, doing the hard work and heart work of supporting youth that are in peril. In the process, its mission of demonstrating mercy and compassion, individual worth, reconciliation and zeal have the potential to continue to do great things for the community. I have never held another position where I felt more like a family member entrusted with the care of those around me. I have also never held another position where I fully intended to retire from.

Cons

Having to switch gears for its primary programming presents challenges for any agency, and Vista has taken it all in stride.

Pros

The job itself was not bad; it was an easy job however you must love what you do. The pay was low for the type of work you did.

Cons

They closed down due to allegations.
