Pros

It was a wonderful place to work overall when you just consider the students/clients . I loved most of my coworkers and I loved my job. It was a beautiful campus; I'm sure the new buildings are too.

Cons

The director and assistant director were atrocious. The director took care of personal mail and phone calls, filed her nails, and gossiped about others, and the assistant director was her little puppet.
