Pros
I love the line of work we do and seeing the big impact we have on our consumers! Being able to help integrate them into the community through activities has a huge impact on the lives of many people. They are really flexible and understanding of life and like to go with the flow. The coworkers are exceptional and very supportive of growing together so that the consumers can better be served. They are open to new ideas and there are many areas open to growth. My title has check in meetings with the superiors to ensure that you are happy with what is going on, to check in, and they are pretty straight forward. Overall a great experience.
Cons
It's not a field for everyone because of the kind of work we do it can be taxing. Pretty easy to get burnt out if you forget self care. Sometimes there can be drama in the work place (but what work place doesn't have drama?). Have to be open to change because it is an ever changing line of work. Each day is a very unique and different day. Sometimes can be unclear with expectations but just need to ask for clarification.
