Pros

Ability to manage your own time, lots of travel so you're not always stuck in the office. There are some people here with big hearts doing their best to do their jobs and that genuinely care a lot about their clients (those tend to burn out/have to go on stress leave though)

Cons

Staff are extremely overworked and underpaid for the work they do, often exposed to traumatic situations. Staff are forced to clean clients' apartments after they move even when they are literally biologically hazardous for no additional pay. You can't even imagine, you would gag if I described it. I once saw another caseworker literally throw up while cleaning a place. Managers act super nice at first but they are so toxic, micromanagers that want you to do everything perfectly under impossible conditions where every day is another crisis with not enough staff to respond to it especially because many have to go on stress leave. Many managers and caseworkers that have been there a long time bitterly belittle and laugh at their clients behind their back, sometimes gossip about other caseworkers as well. Discouragement from participating in union activities. Also FYI this organization is very Christian so if you're not religious don't talk about it.

Pros

The clients and the staff are amazing

Cons

Upper management is horrible and shady. They don’t deserve their jobs as head as a HUMAN SERVICE organization because it’s requires morals to do so and they obviously have none. They will illegally dismiss you if they don’t like you. They honestly don’t have clue what’s going on with their clients. Constantly getting audited by the government because of unsafe and unhealthy conditions reported through employees.
