Pros

Solid DSP training experience Wonderful clients to work with, help, and be around Good HR department

Cons

Extremely unprofessional environment at Admin- upper management engages in extremely inappropriate behavior openly in the office hallways often at the price of deeply offending others Hard work is not rewarded monetarily or otherwise- no bonuses, scarce performance reviews, etc. No possibility for internal career advancement above the csm/qidp level in CLS Understaffed, everybody is overworked and attitudes reflect this, job duties expand continuously but pay doesn't Extreme lack of competent leadership No sense of teamwork

Pros

Like most social service jobs, the client interactions and coworkers are the reasons for staying. The pay is one of the best in the area for entry level positions. The staff are friendly, selfless, and work with a focus on the best interest of the clients.

Cons

Managers focus on what is easiest for them rather than what is best for their clients. Management rarely confronts employees for unprofessional behavior (being on a cell phone, not staying on top of required paperwork, excessive absences or tardiness).
