Pros
Remote work, flexible work schedules (including option of working Mon-Thurs days with every Friday off), VERY kind supportive co-workers. The PURPOSE of our work is evident, we make a positive impact in people's lives every single day. The people we serve appreciate us. This is a very values driven agency, meaning all decisions are made based on what is going to produce the best life outcomes for the people we serve (children and adults with disabilities).
Cons
The majority of our employees are social workers - it is a stressful field to be in. We also have to follow the directives of our funders/contract holders, so decisions are made above us at times which we do not agree with, that can be frustrating. We try to overcome the stress by staying focused on always doing right by the people we serve.
