Working in this field, no matter the company, there are times that can be very stressful

Pros

Welcoming environment, get to do fun things in the community with those supported, people-centered always, pretty thorough training's and resources available to help.

Cons

Low-pay, small company; lots of family and friends at the top, structure of policies make it difficult to work at times, and you might get hit occasionally.

Pros

Help some great people out!

Cons

can be high stress. some clients are aggressive. lots of turnover.

Pros

Flexible schedule and some co workers some times. Good experience as a stepping stone into in the field of psychology.

Cons

People that just don't care are constantly and continually employed. People don't take their shifts seriously, i.e. leaving during the night portion of live in shifts and sleeping during the awake over night shift. I'm pretty sure a client died during my employment because of this very thing.

Pros

Encourages management and staff to cover up abusive behaviors and practices with little to no training. Pros at creating gang culture mentality when injured on the job and looks over drug use by staff.

Cons

Encouragement not to report abuse against staff. Upper management plays blaming games when confronted. HIPPA violations in regards to staff injuries and are quick to twist facts about staff members who do not keep quiet about abuse towards residents and drug use of employees.

Pros

A great job while I was in college.

Cons

Once I graduated from college I was ready for change. I appreciate the time I spent with PCL and all they did for me while I was in college.

Pros

Getting to know the people I supported Decent pay compared to other entry-level jobs without experience Set schedule with many shifts to choose from Benefits

Cons

Exploitative and retaliatory company culture Unsafe work environment Poor work-life balance Poor pay for the type of work Unresponsive and unhelpful HR Harassment and discrimination of workers Frequently paid late or shorted on paycheck

Pros

You get to do good work supporting people in need and get great, real-world experience working with people you might not see or interact with in your day-to-day life. The pay is also decent, and there are lots of opportunities to earn prizes and bonuses.

Cons

Despite what they might say, the company doesn't actually care about its employees. You work long shifts (8 hours is a short day) with no breaks, often working alone with no support. It's extremely stressful and you can burn out quickly if you're not careful. You are constantly flooded with shift coverage requests via email and management is so overworked that if you bring a concern to them, it'll likely get ignored. They are doing extremely high-stakes work with burnt-out employees and no room for error, everything is down to the wire all the time.

Pros

Make an impact in other's lives. Single benefits affordable

Cons

family benefits not subsidized. can be stressful

Pros

Great company, everyone cares a lot.

Cons

None Profit, state regulates pay.
