Pros
The children. Really cute and so heartwarming to have them as a buffer to the stressful environment, although at times they would get too rowdy and make it impossible to work.
Cons
If you are thinking of working for this company,my advice is think again.Especially if they offer you an exempt position.This is code for "we are going to work you within an inch of your life and forget about work/life balance,overtime,evenings,and even weekends". I used to laugh at the movie "Office Space" but I realized it could well be based on this mess of a company. You are tasked with an unrealistic amount of duties which include learning all of their different systems pretty much on your own (the "training" is a bad joke unto itself), plagued by multiple waste-of-time meetings daily (the worst one being the morning meeting), all the time being expected to have a false "Disney-style" attitude and smile and be happy, all this while having to withstand multiple chastising sessions for every little mistake you may make (which is normally that you didn't manage to complete the million and one tasks daily). All this while your "colleagues" and supervisors scheme against you at every chance they have and while working 10 to 11 hour days (sometimes 12 to 13 hours) under constant stress (many days with no lunch breaks or being expected to eat at your desk).You are constantly "spied" on and criticized behind your back by other employees who take every chance they have to go running to the boss with every little detail that doesn't fit 100% into their weird and strict "corporate culture" (which is really quite cultish )so being told off is a daily part of the job, with little to no recognition of whatever efforts you put into the job and,of course, zero consideration of the number of grueling hours you work.The systems they use are totally disorganized and non-negotiable because the whole thing is run by Nanci Bell ,who seems to live in the early part of the 20th century and runs the company according to archaic and obsolete time-consuming and ineffective practices. You just feel like you are constantly being watched but not being helped at all. Working here was truly the worst job of my career and the day I left I felt a HUGE load lifted off my shoulders. My health suffered, both physically and mentally, due to the inordinate amount of "top priority" tasks that had to be done and to the mean nature under all of the smiles and falseness that everyone is supposed to show at all times. Just horrible. The clinicians are all miserable because they never know the hours they are going to work and their schedules are changed every day but, since they are paid by the hour and this company does not pay overtime, anything that's left for them to do when they leave was transferred on to me as an exempt employee. One of the other exempt supervisors ,who claimed to work 40 hours weekly, came in late and left early every day but if I was 5-10 minutes late...yes,you guessed it, I was severely chastised. You are supposed to be available 24/7, your life ceases to belong to you and overall,it is a miserable place to work at.Avoid it like the plague. If you must work here, make sure you are NOT given exempt status because they will milk it for everything it's worth.When I was hired, I was shown a 1-page job description for a 40- hour week that magically turned into a 4-page job description and 60-hour week on your very first day on the job. That is just plain wrong and should be illegal. Overall, it is like entering a prison. You give up your life and are subjected to horrible working conditions and a very hostile working environment, with even the people that report to you scheming behind your back. A total waste of time, where you will be fired for any little mistake you make. Just don't work here. My advice.
