Pros

Made some lifelong friends with co-workers

Cons

Little to no training - you just get thrown into the fire. No substitute teachers if main teacher calls off - the other classrooms staff and aides have to cover.

Pros

It is a job—-pretty sure you could make more $$$ doing Anything else and be happier, healthier, and better off

Cons

Intrinsic motivation only goes so far. Pressley Ridge offers poor pay, poor benefits— healthcare is poor (which isn’t good cause with this employer you’ll need it!) and retirement 403b is horrendous. Plus, they don’t contribute to employee retirement unless you have even been there I believe a min. two years. For Most employers in this hot job market, it is 1 yr. I assume the main reason is because turnover is very high. Overall, the social service field use to attract talent due to benefits but these benefits appear to be gone—it encourages the talented employees to seek better paying jobs in the private sector. The organization values don’t align with the way they treat employees—there is Zero work life balance so don’t apply if you want to see your family like ever!

Pros

Medical Benefits... That is about it. Unless you like to have overtime, there is plenty of that with the horrible turn over rate. They do sign on bonuses, but good luck getting those because no one lasts long enough to get them.

Cons

The pay is worth as much as dirt. Lowest paid in the field. The company finds shady ways to not pay their employees the correct amount. They will "force" you to take up positions at other facilities without any compensation. Unless you are willing to truly follow orders without thinking for yourself, you will eventually be phased out. "Drink to the kool-aid" mentality. This life / work balance will drain you till you can no longer bring anything to the table and then that's when they will find a way to replace you. The employee turn around is awful, one moment you are greeting your co-worker next thing its someone new fresh out of college with no experience because its cheaper. Promotions are a joke, you literally have to wait till someone gets fired / dies and let the trickle down effect happen to even have a chance, but even that is corrupted based on supervisor's personal approval of you. This would literally go on and on, but you by now have read enough to know this is not worth your time. You could get a better job from anything else: Academy, Golden Girls, Stepping Stones, etc. etc. etc.
