Pros

It's a relatively easy job. There's different shifts: 2pm-10pm, 4:30pm-12:30am, 12:30am-8:30am. If you work a day shift you pick up the kids from school and take them back to the house, prepare dinner and have them do their chores and go to bed. Overnight shifts basically make sure the kids dont runaway. Easy to get a job there.

Cons

You are required to work graveyard. When you work a graveyard shift YOU DO NOT GET PAID ADDITIONAL PAY. You are forced to work a 16 hour shift 4:30pm to 8:30am. and you do not get overtime!!! I do not know how this is legal. They say "the hours are factored into your weekly 40 hours". Some of the kids are violent. I have heard plenty of stories of female staff being hurt by clients. One even stabbed by a fork. Keep in mind if the clients are in physical altercations you have to break it up. Company only cares about the money they get for housing the kids.
