Pros

I loved working with my clients.

Cons

Workers are sent to "dangerous" places. (Clients with felonies concerning drugs and battery) Pay is low. Not compensated at IRS rate! The management is horrendous! The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing- and sometimes the left hand too! I was sick and my clients were not cared for. I was accused of abandoning my clients even after I made several calls to the office, and sent them a doctor note explaining my sickness. I was injured and am still waiting to get a call from Workman"s Comp. I "caught" a 98 year old client who slipped in the bath and was told I shouldn't have caught her (my supervisor used the word "lifted"), and called 911. I drove SOOOO much and I didn't get paid mileage on my last check (I think- who knows because the pay is so screwed up!) There's MUCH more I could say!

Pros

The company is mission-driven and focused on supporting vulnerable populations, which gives the work meaning and purpose. It offers stability in a high-demand field and emphasizes training and re-education to support employee growth and retention. Branches are given flexibility to adapt processes locally, and many team members demonstrate strong compassion, teamwork, and commitment to clients.

Cons

There can be a disconnect between corporate policy and frontline realities, with inconsistent enforcement that increases strain on branch staff. A heavy reliance on repeated re-education can weaken accountability and affect morale, while centralized decision-making limits the value of branch-level expertise. Broad role expectations and limited advancement pathways can contribute to burnout for high-performing employees.
