Pros

Great company that truly cares about the impact that they have. The difference you are making in the lives of your clients is not always felt on a day to day basis, but you are really helping to humanize people who are often treated like trash.

Cons

The starting pay seems to be good for the industry, but it is still low for degree holder. The job and clients are difficult.
