Pros

Finding an employer that would actually hire a person with a physical disability. I think the benefits were pretty darn good, but unable to compare them to other industries. Employees and supervisor were supportive in every way from training to work conditions. Friendly atmosphere. In hindsight after seeing what is out there now for a similar position the pay was excellent.

Cons

The job demanded someone had to be there 24/7 and 365 days a year. So on occasion you had to work graveyard that is tough. And had to be there despite how bad the weather was when a normal business could close down. Dealing with snow is tough for the disabled. Unfortunately as the economy declined there were cutbacks to staff and work became busier and if anyone was out sick there was no backup as before. Worst of all the two bases became a joint base the army took over support operations and eliminated our entire department.

Pros

Helping others to become employable in today's job market is a rewarding job. There is an employee discount for all re-sale merchandise. The location is central and easy to get to.

Cons

Pay disparity is a problem, which hurts moral. Any bonuses are based on a percentage of what a person makes. A 2% bonus for a part or flex-time employee making just over $8 per hour is insignificant.
