Pros

Helping people. Some of the co-workers are great.

Cons

They implement changes that they aren't at all prepared for, they hire managers that are not equipped to be managers. They only care about numbers and budgets and not about the people that are being served. The request more than what is possible; they don't care about burn out, they will run you into the ground then ask you to do more. They changed the EHR and nobody knows how to use it so things are stupid crazy and management just cares about the look good... all full of excuses and empty promises.
