Pros

Working with kids, helping them with issues, built lasting relationships with coworkers, unlimited overtime if you want it

Cons

No work/life balance, expected to pick up overtime, managers struggle with giving praise so workers feel underappreciated, some coworkers have no education (and will antagonize kids/fall asleep on the job), training is not consistent, therapists and managers are not fully aware of what happens on the units, so many people sleep with each other which leads to useless drama between staff, managers favor employees and clients, owners become extremely petty if you quit, have to work holidays, no consequences for the kids so they run the unit when not structured correctly

Pros

You get to work with children who have faced tough times and you get to develop mentorship relationships to where they trust your advice and you might actually make a difference. You get plenty opportunity for overtime and your checks end up being 1.5 times as large as normal!!!

Cons

The work culture was terrible--supervisors play favorites, everyone sleeps with each other, employees sleep on the job! You are expected to work so many hours and to pick up for your slacking coworkers. Working so many hours is exhausting.

Pros

Unlimited over time and some of the people you work with are really cool

Cons

Horrible pay for the work you do and I was just confused for being a client instead of an employee
