Pros

The clients are great, once you take the time to get to know them as individuals. You feel like you're actually doing something for these people.

Cons

It's a tough job. It's really hard, and often time it's grunt work. You see some pretty awful stuff, and it's emotional. You have to be strong to get up and go to work everyday.

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.
