Pros

Great non-profit with salary and benefits such as PTO (Paid Time Off). Great work experience for burgeoning Social Workers/Case Managers.

Cons

The turn-over rate for this job is high (on average people stay there for about a year and half). Working with the homeless population can be tough but if you can handle what it throws at you I would say you can handle just about anything. A great job to have on your resume.
