Pros

I enjoyed working with the service users. It was challenging but rewarding.

Cons

It seems that this company has a lot of staff off sick. They are always looking for cover. There can be a lot of back stabbing within the work place. So, please watch your back. They are ruthless in conducting their disciplinary procedures. They do not always listen to all side of the argument.
