Pros

very positive atmosphere, good pay, okay benefits,

Cons

while its a positive atmosphere there is a lot of behind closed doors gossiping with a fake smile to one's face, long long hours, they treat employees horrible if they decide to leave or asked to not return, heavy turnover, there's no real work/life balance, this job is great for young professionals but it'll take its toll, most people last 2-4 years before realizing there's more to life,

Pros

Students were the major pro of this job.

Cons

Disorganization, lack of processes and optional certification often made training and supervision of staff challenging. Culture is the main focus and often supersedes compliance and adherence to state and federal policies.
