Pros

The clients that we serve are remarkably friendly, giving, and kind. Most of the employees are incredibly friendly and team work is to a peak being that we (CNA's) all go through the changes in the company together. *The only reason I work for this company is to maintain a solid relationship with the clients that reside there.

Cons

-Management is awful in recent times. (Changes have been progressively occurring for the worst, relative to the past 5 years.) -Administrators do not stick, and they keep getting worse. They have had 3 in the last 5 years... one left within 6 months. -The divisions within the departments are WELL KNOWN and extremely cliquey. -Cross-functional training is out of the question, which could be why the Administration Department has no idea who they even work for (clients) or their name for that matter. -The company is non-profit, but is treated FOR profit in regards to their cost saving measures, which ultimately only effect the people who do the major grunt and personal work of the organization. -If upper management does not favor you, or conflict arises, regardless of your time dedication to the company (.ie 20 years), they will "eliminate" your position and find a way to replace you. -Raises are not guaranteed and they began eliminating all perks that would increase employee morale, like: employees of the quarter program, $50 gift cards for the winter holidays, and soon probably the turkey give aways -Changed the positions to extremes by raising hours worked, losing perks, and lessening employee wages. (Ultimately the pay had been given back, only after a majority of the employees had already jumped ship).

Pros

What truly sets this school apart is its heart. The dedication, patience, and creativity of the staff make every day purposeful. Seeing a student achieve a new skill or express joy in a way they couldn’t before reminds you why this work matters so much.

Cons

The work can be demanding at times, but it’s deeply fulfilling.
