Pros

The campers are the only thing that make this job worthwile. Getting to know them and learning how to take care of people was the only positive takeaway.

Cons

This place has a toxic and borderline abusive culture, complete with nepotism and favoritism. Pay is abysmal for lower-level employees, especially considering the amount of work you're expected to perform. Management will talk about you behind your back if you're not a part of their circle. It's very sad, becuase what they're trying to do is great for the community, but they treat certain employees with disdain.

Pros

-love the individuals I get to spend time with. -coworkers are usually compassionate and kind -generous PTO

Cons

-low pay despite big profits (I understand it is a non-profit, but I’ve been doing this for many years and this is the lowest I’ve ever been paid) -no raises, not even if you get med cert -there is definitely an inner circle, and if you are part of it you are allowed to make as many mistakes as you’d like, even at the expense of the individuals.
