Pros

Working with at risk youth. The kids are the best part of this job. They come from a variety of backgrounds. Some staff are so great with them. There's a lot of freedom for weekend staff to create the days. Off campus volunteer work was the best for the kids.

Cons

Pay, hours, same shifts every week, employees who seem burned out, poor supervisor support. This job pays horribly. For the staff who sleep on campus... working mandatory 48-50 hours... not being "allowed" to leave at night even to go to the grocery store or to get a breath of fresh air... is horrible! It's hard to maintain sanity when the employees don't leave the environment for days.

Pros

Some programs have fantastic culture, they hire/promote from within (room for growth), Ohio director is super hands on, stipends for school and overall pretty good benefits

Cons

Your experience here is very dependent on what program you work for- some supervisors and team leads create a collaborative and great work atmosphere, while others are retaliatory, create a culture of favoritism, and set you up to fail. Do what you can to speak with team members from whatever team you're applying for before you sign on to make sure you're not signing on with the latter type of supervisor. HR will protect the supervisor if you complain.
