Pros

Co-workers are dedicated to serving the clients People are sincere in their work because it's obviously not for the pay Generous PTO, managers are highly encourage self-care Pay increase automatically every 6 months for the first two years Lots of opportunities to move around within the agency

Cons

The pay is barely livable Being that we are funded by the the gov't we don't always get to make our own decisions. This can lead to job description changes and serving an entirely different client base Pay increases automatically every 6 months for the first two years Not a lot of vertical opportunities within the agency
