Very rewarding, but expect unreasonably high workload and very little support.

Pros

Working with the individuals! They are fantastic. Free health insurance when working full-time Excellent trainings

Cons

$27K for DSP work is atrocious. Although the management is aware of under-staffing issues, there is still constant pressure and frequent reminders that if all responsibilities are not met staff will be fired effective immediately. NO RAISE ever.

A good place to learn about healthcare, leadership, and the special needs population. Take the knowledge and move on.

Pros

In depth trainings, reasonable policies and procedures that provide a good structure when followed, career growth for those interested, good medical benefits, life insurance, Benny card, vacation time (4weeks) can be taken anytime after a year, 12 sick days a year, decent employee discounts( working advantage etc). When you have a good team, the work is easier.

Cons

The pay is barely livable, especially for NYC. Plenty of opportunities for OT but then you end up exhausted. Poor quality of staff, uneducated, unmotivated, and treat the work place like their home. The workload can be overwhelming especially when dealing with bad staff. Management is useless, they too are underpaid and don't support staff. Very unprofessional environment, alot of nonsense is tolerated and often encouraged. This is not a place to stay longer than 5 years, take the knowledge and move on. You will perform many tasks here, from custodian to nursing but will never be properly compensated.
