Pros
All the wonderful people with intellectual and developmental disabilities I worked with each day. It was the only thing that made the job bearable.
Cons
Poor management, extremely high employee turnover, horrible benefits, meager pay. If you truly care about the people and do a great job with and for them, you will be on the bottom of the totem pole. If you can speak like a politician with a forked tongue, then you may be able to get decent hours with half decent pay. Never count on decent pay though. The harder you work for Monarch, the more they will take advantage of you without compensating you. I have truly never worked for a more horrible company. The only thing that kept me there were the members of the day program. I strongly advise anyone to think long and hard about working at any Monarch and only do it if you have no other options. If you do decide to work at Monarch, please don’t take your dissatisfaction out on the people served there. I saw this too many times, and it is not their fault Monarch is a sorry company. Seriously, be careful of working at Monarch.
