Pros

If you want to help people, you've come to the right place! Progress Foundation's clients are a hugely diverse group but they need all the support you can provide as a counselor and then some.

Cons

Some of the management at the facilities are obviously more interested in kissing up to the central office and collecting a paycheck than they are in good client outcomes.

Pros

Coworkers are great people to work with.

Cons

I feel like it is unethical to treat the most vulnerable clients in the community with our level of care and licensing. I think it's unfair for both the workers and the clients and puts a lot of undue stress on everyone.
