Pros

The mission is great help individuals with cognitive disabilities to obtain and maintain employment

Cons

The job coaching CBS department is a shady department they micromanage and treat their employees as children's as they cannot think for themselves. It is management versus top coaches it's not United and they do not support their coaches in any way shape or form the communication is horrible and many fear to even speak their minds because they will get bullied. Never in my life have I worked for a company like this. Management will block your raises. I'm not sour or bitter this is the truth I'm so many others just like me have experienced it

Pros

No longer called Job Developer, but Career Specialist. In this position you will have a chance to make a difference in so many different lives. It's a chance to learn about the community and the challenges people face..and help them overcome them. Learn and hone resume writing skills, interview skills...you will learn mad job search skills. There is the ability to work independently and support for creative solutions and decision making. Wonderful opportunity to hone networking skills - with local businesses and government entities. If you are luck enough to have Ramon Torres as your program manager you will find he is a wonderful leader who provides professional guidance, is a fantastic boss and understands the need for work/life balance. You are super lucky if you get to work out of a retail store and have the ability to get to know and work around Goodwill retail employees. Wonderful people. Lastly, there are different departments one can move into so it seems that there is an opportunity for growth.

Cons

It's a nonprofit, doing good for the community, which means it will not be the most high paying job as is the case in most social service environments. You really have to be in it for the difference you're making. I will say that the flexibility and work/life considerations help balance that.
