Pros

You work with a group of caring individuals in a way that changes peoples' lives. We do in-depth case management, working with disabled individuals. Through work training and placement assistance, they become contributing members of our society. To watch the growth and success of my clients, provides me with tremendous satisfaction.

Cons

With any not for profit work, the money is nothing to get excited about and the insurance is worse! The management tries hard to find ways to recognize and reward its' staff, but there is only so much that you can do.

Pros

Paid time off.... Lots of it!!! Everyone gets it. If you stay there long enough, you might get bonuses. Impossible to get fired, very person-oriented. It's not perfect, but it's better than almost every company I've ever been with. I take plenty of cigarette breaks and nobody ever complains if anyone is late or calls in.

Cons

Will still squeeze you to work as hard as you can. Rules upon rules upon rules... Not strictly enforced, but you can get jumped on for doing A, and told to do B, jumped on for B, and told to do C, and then jumped on for C, and told to do A.
