      Pros

      I loved working here. The work/life balance is healthy, the people have good hearts, and the mission is strong. You also get room/board while you are working there. As you move up housing becomes more limited though.

      Cons

      Not a lot of room for growth in career. The pay isn’t great but it makes sense for what it is. There isn’t a health insurance benefit but you can get insurance from the state.
