Pros
I loved my co-workers and consumers. All of my supervisors had no problem doing work that was "below their pay grade" which fostered good atmosphere. We had lots of fun programs and it was great to see improvements in the lives of our clients.
Cons
I was paid higher than the state minimum for my work, but it was not enough for the tasks necessary the job. I realize this is more due to the state budget and medicaid/medicare reimbursement rates, but this was my reason for leaving. At times, the work is very difficult.
