Pros

Typically full time employment, hire people with mental disabilities

Cons

Pay was $8.00/hr. which is ironic considering their mission of "helping people get employed," seeing as no one can live on that wage. I was in college at the time, and requested only part-time employment several times, and ended up having to quit because no one would change my schedule despite my DAILY insistence. All you need to learn how to apply for a job is online, go to a library if you don't have a computer. Besides, helping someone find a job only works if there are jobs out there. Shop at the DAV, their cause actually makes sense, although I probably wouldn't recommend working there either because of the pay.
