Pros

It's a job. If you focus on the kids and not making friends it's rewarding

Cons

It's like high school. Gossip. People out for themselves and get others in trouble. Most Supervisors could care less. There are like 3 who are worth working for. Unless you're a favorite don't bother, only the people the Director likes move up/on (same goes for the supervisors). Again HIGH SCHOOL POPULARITY CONTEST!

Pros

Steady (but low) paycheck. Quick hiring process. There are some longstanding employees, but they are not necessarily happy employees.

Cons

VERY POOR MANAGEMENT/ LEADERSHIP. You get paid badly, treated lbadly, the money this organization has never actually reaches the kids it's supposed to help, and leadership is just plain awful. Management isn't much better but it's not really their fault, they get paid horribly as well.
