Pros
Rewarding experience working with students
Year-round pay
Generous time off with several breaks built into the schedule throughout the year
Cons
The organization suffers from poor decision-making at the management level and a failure to address inappropriate behavior among staff and students, including instances of excessive force. The administration does not prioritize regular communication, as evidenced by the absence of weekly meetings, leading to significant communication breakdowns. Leadership often implements new ideas abruptly, sharing changes with only a select few, which undermines transparency and cohesion.
There is a lack of accountability and support for both students and staff. Administrators fail to invest in addressing student behaviors effectively, resulting in increased misconduct and limited progress within the program. Concerns raised by staff are frequently dismissed, and confidentiality is poorly maintained, with inappropriate sharing of sensitive information among leadership. The organization offers extremely low pay, despite the highly stressful and demanding nature of the work environment.
