Pros

Very affordable health insurance and tuition reimbursement. The best part about working here is knowing that you're helping the community.

Cons

Low pay for the area, not enough PTO, holidays use vacation time, and no sick time. Low employee morale, and very difficult to advance in your career. It's also hard to take time off for things like doctor's appointments, or to flex your hours due to their strict time-keeping system. I'm frequently left out of communications and activities because I fall under corporate, but work at a facility. Poor communication with staff.
