Pros

Steady scheduling, 1st or 2nd with tons of opportunity for overtime in the busy months. Rewarding at times.

Cons

Not enough staff on units with large groups of kids, which leaves possibility for crisis situations. Poor management. Not all staff on the same page with kid's needs. Staff left alone with dangerous kids, leading to assaults.

Manage troubled youth.

Pros

Medsabi Academy is a treatment center for troubled youth. The turnover is very high for both staff and clients. you will have two weeks of training and half of that is dealing with crisis management. This includes deescalation and restraining type holds for when the clients start fighting each other or fighting staff. The ages range from roughly 13 to 21. They all have their programs and most take medication that you would have to distribute if you make it 6 months. There is a lot of room to move up within Mesabi Academy and since it is corporate and ran by Kidspeace you can have a career through them. Most dont though. If you can handle the overnights thats the way to go. You get paid the same as day staff and will allow unlimited overtime.

Cons

May get beat up by clients. Some have been sent to the hospital. Will call you asking you to pick up shifts pretty much once you walk out the door and wont remember the sacrifices you make for the company.

Pros

Might make a difference in a kid’s life.

Cons

You can end up with permanent damage to your brain from concussions due to unsafe ratios. Management does not care about staff. They will call you multiple times on your days off to come in due to understaffing and retaliate if you say no.
