Pros
Bridge house initially is awe inspiring. You are treated incredibly well, and you feel the warmth of the place. Coworkers are welcoming and helpful, the residents were tough but you'd grow relationships with them.
Cons
After a while the reality of the place sets in. You see the choices that management makes. You see the favoritism of certain shifts. Rather than compensating techs for the work they do, they talk about starting raffles that nobody wants. Bringing in residents with violent histories despite telling techs in training that they do not accept them. It took upwards of 10 techs being injured with concussions and bites for them to take action. The action? Bite sleeves. They only removed the resident when management got a first hand experience with this resident. Along with questionable choices, management emits a superiority complex that leaves the techs feeling that they are not supported. Due to this, people leave, which leads the remaining techs to pick up the slack. In my opinion, the ONLY reason Bridge Houses doors are still open is due to the amazing coworkers we had, working hard to support the residents. Despite these issues I would recommend Bridge House , but with caution. Don't expect a career as opportunities are limited. Instead I'd recommend using bridge house as a way to get experience before finding a company worth the time and effort put in.
