Pros

They have great work/life balance! Free training and great experience provided to you! The volunteer opportunities are also great. It is truly a priceless experience.

Cons

Incredibly difficult to live off of the monthly stipend. Would be helpful to have a few less hours required of workers.

Pros

Very supportive supervisors. Professional development opportunities. Positive environment. Knowledgable staff and opportunities for growth.

Cons

Pay is low. School-based services so it can be difficult to serve students when dealing with school schedules, testing, teachers not wanting students to leave class, etc.

Pros

Very worthwhile mission, great people, lots of autonomy to do your job as you see fit, lots of built-in vacation days (due to being on school-based schedule).

Cons

Pay increases slowly, not really performance-based raises.
