Pros

trying to help make a difference in someones life.

Cons

Staff: Non-professionalism, yelling, negative, stealing, drugs, non-communication, fighting.

Advice to Senior Management

Seek continued educational sources. Improve leadership and communication. Do not hire prison inmates to supervise convicts and drug addicts. Work closer with staff. Listen to employees. Learn
