Pros

Honestly there aren't any pros in my opinion. But if I had to list one, there is the opportunity to work a lot of overtime shifts.

Cons

Elwyn could not care less about their employees. We are nothing more than bodies to fill the shifts. Direct care staff has not received a raise in years. The contract is still being "negotiated". Most importantly, they do not care about the consumers they serve. The houses are falling apart and there are no activities for the consumers to participate in. The consumers are sadly a means of revenue for the company.

Pros

I was able to work with some people who would communicate effectively, as well as collaborate with no issues and problems.

Cons

Hmm were should I start- Poor poor leadership. Management is top heavy. Many of these people have been there so long, as a matter of fact to long, they need new leadership with better and new ideas. They also tend to reward bad behavior, yes this is a thing. Poor and bad attitudes, unprofessionalism, unruly, and disruptive, but they tend to get promoted and get raises, just for clarity, they were not that good at their job. There were always complaints against these people and there was no consequence for the poor and bad behaviors. They are very cliquish and sneaky. I did not enjoy working there. So, whoever is planning on applying, I would think about it first before applying.
