Avantages
working with residents is fun and you get to build a lot of good relationships. you get to do lots of cool things every day like going to see movies, hiking, cooking, shopping, going to parks, swimming, skiing, kayaking, going to the gym, fishing, golfing, chopping wood, gardening, building things and lots more. pay is good for the field and for north Idaho, especially with no/limited eudcation and you don't have to have experience in the field to get hired
Inconvénients
work life balance is not good, super unpredictable schedule with very little notice (schedule is posted Friday evening for the week beginning Sunday) hours change frequently and sometimes in the middle of the week, and time off is usually not approved more than a week or two in advance. health insurance is really bad. lots of gossip within the program. lots of the vehicles we are required to drive are in poor shape and some feel unsafe to drive.
