Pros

Direct interaction with residents. Leadership skills gained. Helps time management skills. Very flexible with your work schedule. Oppurtunity to move up within the company. Also great letters of reccomendation especially if you do your job well and show passion for your job.

Cons

Honestly if you do not like interaction with people this job is not for you. You must be willing to understand that people have bad days when their frustrated and you have to be patient and understanding.

Pros

Being a college student; they worked around my class schedule.

Cons

The company is fairly new, and it shows in the management. The corporate level management is too overbearing on the regional units, and they suffer because of it. The compensation for the lower level employees is a cure joke. My position was a sales job that paid no commission and a straight minimum wage. It was difficult to sell a company that treats its employees so poorly.
