Pros

The number one pro is the clients that DESC choose to serve. Working at DESC, I had so many wonderful co-workers. So many staff really care and bend over backwards for their clients. DESC provides a lot of valuable trainings and educational opportunities. It is a great place to learn a lot. I felt very valued by my team and supervisors. I really loved the framework and approach to services. The PTO is great. Overall I really loved my experience at DESC and would work there again.

Cons

The pay. The fact that they do not provide you with a ORCA pass.

Pros

You are working with a group of society that tends to be forgotten or swept under the rug.

Cons

The administrative area of this company is seriously lacking. The company will do anything not to pay their employees what they are worth.
