Pros

Easy going, benefits, you can feel that you're making a difference in the community.

Cons

Teamwork there is a lot of CYA and some folks have been there to long they have lost their passion for the job. The pay is not great, communication is lost amongst team members and sometimes supervisors. Although it's easy going it's also repetitive. Clients may treat you like garbage at times.
