Pros
People are friendly, safe environment, staff is helpful for new travelers , fast pace , organized, and it seems like you are a part of a team that is appreciative of a travelers skills and presence. Staff was welcoming, honestly they went above and beyond to make sure that I felt a part of the permanent staff. I would love an opportunity to go back . It felt like home and we were truly a team ! Kudos to Anitra,Amy, Christy and Nyonah.
Cons
They need more restrooms dedicated to the staff, pay is insultingly low based on the type of level traumas they have habitually. It’s barely enough to afford rehousing .
