Pros

Exposure to different types of clinicians and social work Direct contact with clients Involved in providing vital services

Cons

Like any non profit, it’s wildly under funded, but add in the clone t population and the constant turn over and things get wild. But a great place to learn about the field, you’ll just kinda get thrown in there and have to really know how to set a boundary or two
