Avantages
- Always extra overtime to be had - Interest in cross-training when requested - Easy promotions if you're committed - Free time on the clock, depending on the grouphome you work at - Transitioning to part-time from full or vice-versa is easily doable, would be a good job for a student.
Inconvénients
- You're working with mentally & physically challenged persons. That takes a certain type of person. - Chronically understaffed, hence the readily available overtime - Low pay for workers means low interest in doing a good job, and in the health care industry, some of what I saw is deeply troubling - Lack of modernization; Lots of paper shuffling and lack of accountability - Senior positions are often held by people who aren't fit for them (hence why it's easy to get a promotion), and aren't paid well even if you get them
