Pros

Relaxed management style, flex hours with this position, a lot of PTO

Cons

Ill-defined job description, low salary, little development from management and few opportunities for growth, often feel like I'm expected by management to be more like a landlord or parent than a counselor, inconsistent treatment of clients by staff due to inconsistent expectations set by lack of training (some fellow staff can be rude), even housed clients live in pretty dismal environments, you're exposed to bedbugs (I've brought one home from work).

Pros

Pay and benefits are great, a lot of pto.

Cons

Not a great company for POC in leadership roles. You will also receive very little support from higher ups, and must manage heavy emotionally taxing days with KPIS.
