Pros

The help I provide for the individuals

Cons

There's a lack of communication, no care for the staff, not enough appreciation for the staff, the individuals homes are not cared for properly, the managers don't provide proper training, favoritism, the individuals aren't provided for enough due to lack of supervision by the supervisors. No bonuses either, which could help show appreciation for staff from time to time.
