Great job, bad management

Pros

Fun job. Get paid to play games with kids. Learn a lot about psychology, even how to read, understand, and help everyday people and situations. Very rewarding job on a daily basis

Cons

Compensation is very poor, although management try to defend themselves on this matter all the time. They don't give raises even when they dump extra responsibilities on their employees (which they do a lot without consulting the employees), the only raise ever seen is on anniversaries of hire date, if you're lucky, and it's only a .10 cent raise. Management tend to be petty and don't hide bias. They take advantage of the employees who are eager to please. They can be very belittling, treating staff almost like they are the kids in the program. They make and enforce rules for the staff just for the sake of implementing authority.

Pros

This job truly did have me feeling like I was making a difference for the first several months, as another reviewer mentioned. I was helping a lot of kids, until burnout inevitably occured.

Cons

The hours worked fluxuate from 7:30-3:30, and 2:00-10:00, and sometimes you are scheduled to leave at 10, and arrive back to work at 7:30, only 9 hours later, which, if you have a commute, makes for a very bad nights sleep. It messed with my circadian rhythm bad, and ruined my entire sense of well-being. Harsh environment, some of the staff yell at the kids to try to exert their power rather than stay calm and try to talk it out. Also in comparison to other jobs I was working very very hard for the 11/hr, with no provided breaks (had to beg for them ,or I wouldn't receive them, and then after getting one you would get looked down on by the others because they had to work harder). It is very much a job with little to no opportunity for advancement, the raises are 10 cents a year, which obviously wont add up anytime soon. Also, the management seems to encourage some very questionable interventions and plans with children, some of which seemed to add psychological distress to the children. This was why I left.

Rewarding work but trouble with upper management

Pros

Love working with the kids. The work is difficult, but helping them with their day-to-day can be incredibly rewarding and worthwhile.

Cons

Upper management is disorganized and unprofessional. Not very supportive of treatment team members. This unfortunately causes a big turnover rate in treatment team members.
