Pros

Really none I can think of.

Cons

Look past the recent burst of positive, 5 star ratings!!! The company pushed employees to create them!! Once you get past them you’ll find the truthful 1 and 2 star ratings! This company has a hostile work environment and it starts with the foul mouthed, unreasonable, profit hungry CEO and trickles down. He keeps his favorite, toxic, clone-like leaders while new leaders with fresh ideas that care about creating a positive culture come and go pretty quickly. Employees are under paid, especially the Direct Support Professionals. I joined this company for the mission, I left due to the extremely toxic culture. Run!! Do not work for this company!
