Pros

The company is great. The job is not. SWHD is making a lot of great strides in providing quality family services. Decent benefits. My shift works perfectly for me, but I have heard others complain that their schedule is less flexible. Work for the company, DO NOT work as a CDS or CDA - I would even heavily warn you to stay away from the FSS (family support specialist) position.

Cons

Working as a Child Development Specialist for a month I can already see that this position sets you up for failure. Regardless of your good intensions, you are held 100% responsible for everything pertaining to the child regardless if that responsibility is "shared" with your assistant or your Family Support Specialist. On top of that, don't count on anyone to actually help you understand your position. Minimal support for co-workers, less from supervisors.
